Pantone™ PMS 177 U

Pantone PMS 177 U is a licensed color standard, not a generic color name. Licensed reproduction means the paint is matched using authorized Pantone data and processes intended to visually align with the Pantone PMS reference.

This matters for brand-facing work because unlicensed or approximate matches can shift hue or saturation, especially with vivid colors. Using a licensed reproduction reduces risk when PMS 177 U must visually align with brand standards across displays, signage, or prototypes.

The "U" in Pantone PMS 177 U identifies the uncoated Pantone reference. Pantone codes can change appearance depending on the series or suffix, so the exact code matters.

Before ordering, confirm that PMS 177 U is the specific reference called out in your brand guidelines or project documentation. Ordering a different series, even with the same number, can result in a visible mismatch.

For best results with Pantone PMS 177 U, start with a clean surface free of dust, oils, and residues. Degrease if needed and allow the surface to fully dry.

Light scuffing can help adhesion on smooth or glossy substrates. Always apply a small test area first to confirm appearance and compatibility before proceeding with the full application.

One spray can of Pantone PMS 177 U typically covers about 10 to 12 square feet per coat under normal application conditions.

Coverage can vary based on surface texture, spray technique, and the number of coats required. Saturated Pantone colors may need additional coats for uniform appearance, so plan quantity with that in mind.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 177 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.
