PMS 113 U is a Pantone PMS color used as a standardized visual target for consistent color communication. It presents as a vivid yellow with a clear, energetic, attention-forward, and optimistic character suited to brand-facing applications.

The color appears very light, with an LRV of 76.32. It reads as warm, leaning toward a clean yellow rather than orange.

The color shows high saturation, producing strong visual impact. It carries a subtle green-yellow undertone that keeps it from appearing amber.

PMS 113 U works well in brand experiences, displays, and signage where strong visibility and color recognition are required. Its high saturation can emphasize surface variation, so smooth preparation, appropriate priming, and multiple thin coats may help achieve even coverage, especially over darker substrates.

Lighting conditions and finish choice can noticeably influence brightness and perceived intensity.

Similar colors:
PMS 114 U: slightly deeper and less bright, with a marginally heavier yellow tone.
PMS 112 U: warmer and more golden, with reduced green influence.
PMS 109 U: more intense and vivid, with higher perceived saturation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 113 U

Why can PMS 113 U look different on plastic, metal, and wood?

PMS 113 U is a Pantone color reference, not a material-specific paint formula. When this color is applied to different substrates, changes in absorption, surface texture, and reflectivity can alter how the color is perceived.

For brand-facing work, the most reliable approach is to evaluate PMS 113 U on the actual materials used in the final build. This helps confirm appearance under your lighting and avoids surprises when multiple materials are viewed together.

How do I choose the right paint type for a PMS 113 U match?

Choosing the right paint type for PMS 113 U depends on the substrate, exposure conditions, and desired finish. Different products can affect gloss, color strength, and how the Pantone target is visually perceived.

If you are unsure, contact MyPerfectColor with details about the material, environment, and finish goals. This allows the team to recommend a paint format that best supports accurate brand color reproduction.

Does PMS 113 U require extra coats for full coverage?

PMS 113 U is a bright, saturated Pantone color. Colors like this often have lower hide than neutral or muted shades, which means additional coats may be needed to achieve a uniform appearance.

Coverage can also vary based on substrate color and surface preparation. Testing PMS 113 U on your actual material helps set realistic expectations for coat count and final appearance.

What should I know before ordering a custom PMS 113 U paint?

Pantone matched paints, including PMS 113 U, are custom made to order. Because they are mixed specifically to match the Pantone reference, changes are more difficult once production begins.

Before ordering, confirm the product type, sheen, and substrate. For high-visibility or multi-material projects, ordering samples first can help verify appearance and reduce the risk of reordering.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 113 U?
All paint is custom-made to order. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Pantone PMS 113 U depends on the type of paint needed. Interior and exterior house paints usually ship within 1 to 3 business days, while custom spray paint typically takes 3-5 business days to ship. The transit time depends on your location and the shipping method you choose. If your need is immediate, select Expedited Production during checkout.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 113 U for touch up?

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.

How do I convert PMS 113 U to a different color from another paint company?
