Pantone™ PMS 155 U

PMS 155 U is a Pantone PMS reference color, not a material-specific formula. When PMS 155 U is applied to different substrates, the material can change how the color appears due to absorption, surface texture, and reflectivity.

Non-porous surfaces like metal or plastic tend to reflect more light, which can make PMS 155 U appear brighter or cleaner. Porous or textured materials like wood or MDF can absorb more coating, which may soften the appearance. For brand-critical work, evaluate PMS 155 U on the actual material used in the final build rather than relying on a single sample across all substrates.

Sampling PMS 155 U is recommended for high-visibility brand applications, large installations, or projects that require formal brand approval. Lighting conditions, substrate choice, and finish can all influence how PMS 155 U is perceived.

If PMS 155 U must align closely with an existing brand standard or will be viewed under specific lighting, ordering a sample allows you to confirm appearance before committing to full production.

PMS 155 U is a light, warm Pantone color, and like many brand colors, coverage can vary depending on substrate and undercoat. On darker or uneven surfaces, additional coats may be needed to achieve consistent hide and uniform appearance.

Planning for proper surface preparation and sufficient coating build helps ensure PMS 155 U looks even and brand-accurate across the entire surface.

Sheen selection affects how PMS 155 U is perceived because gloss level changes light reflection. Higher sheen finishes reflect more light and can make the color appear brighter, while lower sheen finishes scatter light and may soften the appearance.

Choose sheen based on viewing distance, lighting conditions, and the substrate being coated. If precise visual alignment is required, confirm the chosen sheen with a sample of PMS 155 U before final production.

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 155 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 155 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.
