Pantone™ PMS 7648 C

To ensure you receive the intended color, always order using the complete Pantone code 'PMS 7648 C.' The code specifies the exact color target within the Pantone Matching System, while the color name alone does not guarantee accuracy. Including the suffix, such as 'C' for coated, is important because Pantone offers similar color numbers across different systems and finishes. Double-check the code in your brand guidelines or artwork files before ordering. This helps avoid color confusion or mismatches that can happen if only a descriptive name is used.

The finish of PMS 7648 C affects both visual impact and how the color is perceived under lighting. Gloss finishes increase depth and saturation, making the dark red-violet look bolder and more vivid, but can also create glare in direct lighting or when viewed from certain angles. Matte finishes lessen glare and keep the surface subtle, but may reduce the punch and vibrancy of this saturated color, especially in dim or indirect light. For applications needing high visibility or dramatic effect from a distance, gloss or satin usually enhances PMS 7648 C's richness. For close-up elements or areas with strong overhead lighting where glare is a concern, matte may be preferred. Evaluate intended lighting and viewing distance to pick the right finish for your brand presentation.

PMS 7648 C is widely used in prototypes and concept models where visual brand accuracy is critical. To replicate the color, select a paint format that matches your model's substrate and scale, such as spray paint for larger surfaces or paint pens for details. Keep in mind that highly saturated colors like PMS 7648 C may require careful surface prep and multiple coats to achieve full opacity, especially when starting from a light base color. Evaluate prototypes under lighting similar to the intended final environment to judge color alignment. This process helps you spot appearance shifts and ensures that the result meets brand expectations before larger-scale production.

The SDS for any paint matched to PMS 7648 C is based on the specific paint product or chemistry, not just the color code. Once you select the product type, such as spray paint or epoxy, refer to the SDS library for that product on the supplier''s website. Look for the SDS under the relevant paint format or contact customer service with the product details. The color code itself does not determine the safety or handling characteristics of the paint.

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 7648 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.
