Pantone™ PMS 182 U

Ordering Pantone PMS 182 U paint means you are purchasing paint custom-matched to the Pantone PMS 182 U color standard as a visual target. Pantone PMS is a color communication system, not a paint formula, coating process, or finish specification.

The paint is produced to visually match PMS 182 U under standard viewing conditions, but the final appearance will still depend on the paint type, finish, substrate, application method, and lighting. Because of this, Pantone PMS matches are best used for brand-facing elements where visual consistency is the goal, not for precise material or process matching.

Yes. Pantone PMS 182 U is commonly specified in brand standards for signs, displays, and exhibit fabrication where consistent brand color is required across vendors and materials.

For these applications, the Pantone standard serves as the approved color reference. Because substrates and finishes can change how the color appears, it is often advisable to test PMS 182 U on the actual material being used, especially for high-visibility or client-approved installations.

The Pantone PMS 182 U color can be produced in different paint types, but the correct choice depends on where and how it will be used.

For interior applications such as displays, exhibits, or branded environments, interior-rated paints or spray paints are typically appropriate. For exterior signs or elements exposed to weather and UV, you should select an exterior-rated paint designed for durability in those conditions. The Pantone color match remains the same, but performance characteristics come from the paint type, not the color code.

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is tied to the specific paint product and chemistry, not to the Pantone PMS 182 U color itself.

Once you select the paint type or format for PMS 182 U, the corresponding SDS can be found in the SDS library for that product. Always review the SDS for the exact product you are ordering to ensure it meets your safety and compliance requirements.

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 182 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 182 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.
