Pantone™ PMS 7642 C

Pantone PMS 7642 C is a standardized color reference that allows brands to communicate an exact color target to all vendors, fabricators, and installers. Using a defined Pantone code like PMS 7642 C ensures that branded elements, such as displays and signage, appear visually consistent and recognizable across different materials, finishes, and production runs. This consistency is key to building a unified brand experience in any marketing, event, or retail environment.

With Pantone PMS 7642 C, selecting between matte and gloss finishes depends on the visual effect you want and the environment. Matte minimizes glare and reflections, which works well for close viewing or controlled lighting. Gloss highlights the saturation and depth of this burgundy, especially under lighting or at a distance, but introduces more glare. In areas with strong lighting, gloss can appear punchier, but excessive glare may distract from the color. For trade shows, displays, or signage seen mostly at a distance, gloss often enhances visual impact. For close-up brand experiences or environments with variable lighting, matte offers a more subdued, consistent appearance. Consider final lighting and viewing conditions when making your choice.

Pantone PMS 7642 C, like other saturated Pantone colors, can present challenges when matching across different substrates. Variables like surface texture, material type, and finish can affect appearance, so it is normal to see slight differences. MyPerfectColor matches the PMS 7642 C reference using color standards and visual evaluation controls designed for brand and display needs. For large or highly visible projects, always review sample panels under final lighting conditions before full production to confirm satisfaction with the match.

When using Pantone PMS 7642 C over large surfaces, start with a properly primed, even substrate. Plan for multiple coats, since saturated colors like this may have lower hide, especially over lighter backgrounds. Use consistent spray or roller technique and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Complete sections fully before stopping, and verify each coat under the actual lighting where the display or signage will be viewed. This approach minimizes patchiness and supports the uniform, branded appearance intended by PMS 7642 C.

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 7642 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.
