Pantone™ PMS 2380 C

When you order Pantone PMS 2380 C in paint, you are requesting a paint color that visually matches the standardized Pantone PMS 2380 C reference. This means the paint is formulated to replicate the appearance of PMS 2380 C as closely as possible, following Pantone's visual specifications. It is important to note that Pantone PMS codes are color targets, not specific paint formulas, manufacturing processes, or finish types. For consistent results, always verify if your finish and substrate requirements align with your project's Pantone color expectations.

Coverage for a single can of PMS 2380 C spray paint is typically about 20 to 25 square feet per coat on a smooth, primed surface. Because PMS 2380 C is a dark, saturated blue-violet with low light reflectance, lighter substrates and textured surfaces may need multiple coats to achieve true, uniform color. Adjust your quantity estimates if your project requires high coverage or strong brand appearance, and always test on your actual material when possible.

PMS 2380 C is defined by the Pantone Matching System and does not have guaranteed equivalent colors in other paint brands. Cross-referencing vivid Pantone PMS colors like 2380 C to other manufacturers is rarely exact because most brands use unique formulations and palettes. For critical projects where brand accuracy is essential, always specify Pantone PMS 2380 C directly and avoid relying on unknown color matches from other systems.

Sampling PMS 2380 C is strongly recommended for large or visible brand projects, especially when color appearance must meet approval standards or substrates are not standard. Deep, saturated colors like PMS 2380 C can shift in appearance depending on lighting, sheen, and application surface. Testing a sample helps confirm that the final result meets your visual expectations and brand consistency requirements before completing a larger order.

Unfortunately, no.

Some manufacturers specify Pantone colors as touch up for their products, but Pantone does not work well as a proxy for a touch-up solution (for a litany of reasons such as it doesn't include sheen and Pantone color tolerances are not tight enough for touch up). When we match Pantone colors we are matching to a swatch in a Pantone book - not to your product.

The only way we can provide a touch-up solution for your product is for you send us a part. We would use the part to create a touch-up grade match. Unfortunately, there isn't an effective way to 'spec' the color well enough to produce a touch up without the part.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 2380 C in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, especially for a color collection like Pantone which is designed for bright colors and inks.
