Pantone™ PMS 116 U

Pantone PMS 116 U is a color reference, not a paint product. Safety characteristics, VOC content, and handling requirements depend on the specific paint type you choose, such as spray paint, epoxy, or interior/exterior housepaint.

Before use, review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact product you order and follow the manufacturer instructions for ventilation, personal protective equipment, and application. Do not assume safety or VOC performance based only on the Pantone color name or number.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 116 U is made to order rather than pulled from stock. Production lead time depends on the paint format selected and current production volume.

In general, standard lead times are a few business days before shipping, but this can vary. If your project has a fixed deadline, confirm timing before ordering so production and shipping align with your schedule.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 116 U is made to order. Production lead time varies based on the selected paint format, finish, and current production volume.

Because this is a custom color match, allow additional time compared to off-the-shelf paints. If timing is critical for a brand or marketing deadline, confirm lead time before ordering.

Surface texture can noticeably change how Pantone PMS 116 U looks once applied. Smooth surfaces tend to reflect light more evenly, making the color appear brighter and more saturated.

Rough or textured substrates create shadows and uneven reflection, which can make the same color look darker or less vivid. For brand-critical applications, evaluate a sample on the actual substrate and texture before full production.

Surface texture can significantly change how Pantone PMS 116 U appears. Smooth surfaces reflect light more evenly, while textured or porous substrates create shadowing that can make the color look darker or less saturated.

For high-visibility brand applications, evaluate the color on the actual substrate and texture being used. This is especially important for vivid, saturated Pantone colors.

The Pantone PMS 116 U color target is the same, but the correct paint type depends on where and how it will be used. Interior paints are designed for controlled environments, while exterior paints are formulated to handle UV exposure, moisture, and temperature changes.

Select the paint type based on exposure and performance needs first, then apply the Pantone color match within that product. Choosing the right base ensures the color performs as expected in its intended environment.

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 116 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 116 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.
