Pantone™ PMS 1807 U

Pantone PMS 1807 U is a visual color standard, not a paint formula. Matching it in paint involves translating a printed reference into a liquid coating applied to a surface. Highly saturated Pantone colors can be challenging due to pigment behavior, finish, and substrate. MyPerfectColor produces Pantone matched paint to visually align with the PMS 1807 U reference, but small perceptual differences can occur based on sheen, application method, and lighting. For critical brand approvals, reviewing a sample under your actual lighting and on the intended substrate is recommended.

Yes. The 'U' suffix indicates the Pantone reference series used as the color target. Pantone codes can appear similar but represent different printed standards, and those differences can affect the intended match. When ordering PMS 1807 U, confirm that your brand guidelines or source materials specifically call for the U reference so the paint is matched to the correct Pantone standard.

Primer needs depend on the paint type, substrate, and exposure conditions. For Pantone PMS 1807 U, using a compatible primer can improve adhesion and help achieve more uniform color, especially on porous, dark, or previously coated surfaces. A primer is often recommended when consistent appearance and coverage are important for brand-facing applications. If you are unsure, testing the full system on your actual substrate is the safest approach.

When using PMS 1807 U over larger areas, plan for consistent application to avoid visible variation. Apply even coats, maintain the same spray distance or technique, and complete panels or sections without stopping mid-surface. Highly saturated Pantone colors may require additional coats to achieve uniform hide. Applying all coats from the same batch and under similar conditions helps maintain a consistent visual result.

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 1807 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 1807 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.
