Pantone™ PMS 150 U

PMS 150 U is a Pantone PMS reference, not a fixed paint formula. Each order is mixed to visually match the Pantone target, so small batch-to-batch variation can occur.

To keep results consistent, reorder the same product type and sheen, and evaluate samples under the same lighting and approval method each time. Changing formats, finishes, or approval conditions can change how PMS 150 U appears, even when the Pantone code is the same.

PMS 150 U is a Pantone PMS color reference, not a fixed paint formula. Each order is mixed to visually match the Pantone standard, so small batch-to-batch variation is normal. To keep PMS 150 U looking consistent across reorders, use the same product type, finish or sheen, and application method each time.

If color approval matters, keep a retained sample from a prior order and compare new paint under the same lighting. Changing substrates, gloss level, or lighting conditions can make PMS 150 U appear different even when the match is within normal Pantone tolerance.

PMS 150 U can be matched into paints used on plastics, but plastics vary widely in surface energy and chemistry. Some plastics require special primers or surface preparation for proper adhesion.

Before production, test the PMS 150 U paint on the actual plastic you plan to use, with the same prep and primer system. This confirms both adhesion and final color appearance on that specific material.

PMS 150 U can be matched in paint products that are applied to plastics, but plastics vary widely in surface energy and adhesion behavior. Some plastics may require a specific primer or surface preparation step for proper adhesion.

Before committing to a full run, test the PMS 150 U paint on the actual plastic you plan to use. This helps confirm both adhesion and visual appearance, since the substrate can influence how saturated Pantone colors are perceived.

PMS 150 U defines the color target only. Safety, VOC levels, and handling requirements depend on the specific paint product and format you choose.

Always review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product you order and follow the recommended ventilation, application, and handling guidance. This is especially important when using spray-applied products.

PMS 150 U describes the color target only. Safety, VOC levels, and handling requirements depend on the specific paint product and format you choose. Always review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product you are ordering.

Follow all recommended ventilation, application, and personal protective guidance for that product. If you have regulatory or workplace safety requirements, confirm that the selected paint system meets those needs before ordering.

PMS 150 U is intended for brand color reproduction, not for matching an existing painted or molded part exactly. Differences in substrate, texture, age, and finish can all affect how the color looks.

If the goal is a part-specific visual match, the most reliable approach is to send a physical sample for matching. This allows the color to be evaluated directly on the real material rather than relying only on the Pantone reference.

PMS 150 U is intended for brand color reproduction, not for precision touch-up or repair matching. If you need paint to blend seamlessly into an existing coated surface, a Pantone code alone is usually not sufficient.

For that level of accuracy, the best approach is to send a physical part or sample for custom matching. This allows the match to account for the actual substrate, finish, and aging of the existing surface, which a PMS 150 U reference cannot capture.

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 150 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 150 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.
