Pantone™ PMS 125 U

Pantone PMS 125 U is a visual color reference, not a specification for sheen, substrate, film build, or aging. Existing finishes vary by gloss, texture, and application method, all of which change how color is perceived.

Because Pantone does not control those variables, a PMS 125 U paint can look different from an existing coating even when the hue is correct. For brand-facing components, PMS matching works well when the Pantone reference is the target. For touching up an installed surface, results are unpredictable and often unacceptable.

PMS 125 U is a saturated Pantone color, and vivid hues often have lower hide than neutral colors. This means the substrate can influence the final appearance if coverage is thin.

Plan for multiple coats to achieve uniform color, and consider using a compatible undercoat that supports even coverage. Testing on the actual substrate is the best way to confirm coat count and visual uniformity before production.

Pantone colors are identified by an exact code and series, not just a color name. PMS 125 U specifies both the color number and the Uncoated series.

When ordering, always provide the full code including the suffix. Ordering by name alone or omitting the series can result in a different Pantone target and an incorrect match.

The SDS is tied to the specific paint product and chemistry, not to the Pantone color itself. PMS 125 U identifies the color target, but different paint formats have different safety data.

After selecting the product type you are ordering in PMS 125 U, refer to the SDS library for that product. This ensures you are reviewing the correct safety information for the actual material being supplied.

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 125 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 125 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.
