PMS 111 U is a Pantone PMS color used as a specification reference for consistent color communication across vendors and materials. It conveys a bold, energetic, high-visibility yellow character that reads warm, assertive, and attention-directing in brand-facing applications.
The color appears mid-dark for a yellow, with an LRV of 29.26, and reads warm overall with a subtle green-leaning yellow bias. It shows high saturation and strong chroma, giving it a vivid, concentrated appearance.
A slight green undertone can become more noticeable under cool or high-CRI lighting, and the color is sensitive to finish and surface uniformity due to its saturation.
This color works well in brand displays, signage elements, and fabricated components where strong yellow visibility is intentional. Because of its saturation, it may require additional coats for even coverage, and it often benefits from a light or white primer to reduce show-through.
Lighting type, sheen level, and surface preparation can noticeably influence how open or dense the yellow appears compared to softer or less saturated yellows.

PMS 111 U is a Pantone target color, and its appearance can shift depending on the light source, surrounding colors, and surface finish. Daylight, LED, and fluorescent lighting can each emphasize different parts of the color, which may make PMS 111 U appear warmer, cooler, brighter, or duller.
For brand-critical work, evaluate a sample of PMS 111 U under the same lighting and viewing conditions where it will be installed. This helps confirm that the perceived color meets brand expectations in its real environment.
To order PMS 111 U, start by selecting the paint format that fits your project, such as spray paint or another available option for branding and display use. Next, choose the sheen and quantity based on coverage needs and surface type.
Because Pantone matches are made to a visual standard, confirm that PMS 111 U is the correct Pantone reference for your project before ordering. If approval or accuracy is critical, ordering a sample first can reduce the risk of rework.
PMS 111 U is commonly specified in brand standards for signage, displays, and exhibit elements where visual consistency is important. In these contexts, the Pantone code serves as the agreed color target across vendors and materials.
Since substrates and finishes can influence how PMS 111 U appears, it is a good practice to test the color on the actual material used in fabrication. This helps ensure the finished piece aligns with brand expectations when installed.
Paint matched to PMS 111 U is custom made to order based on the selected format, sheen, and quantity. Because it is produced specifically for your order, changes or returns can be limited.
Before purchasing, double-check that PMS 111 U is the correct Pantone reference and that the product type and sheen meet your project requirements. Ordering a sample when color approval is required can help avoid costly adjustments later.
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.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 111 U. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.
The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.
While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 111 U 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.
