Pantone™ PMS 1895 U

A Pantone PMS 1895 U spray paint match is intended for visual brand accuracy, not as a guarantee of durability by itself. Actual durability depends on surface preparation, the specific paint chemistry you choose, and the environment where it will be used.

For displays, signage, and marketing installations, proper cleaning and priming are critical. If the piece will be handled frequently or exposed to abrasion, adding a compatible clear coat can improve resistance. For outdoor or high exposure uses, select a paint type designed for those conditions rather than assuming all spray paints perform the same.

Ordering a standard Pantone PMS 1895 U match is appropriate when the Pantone reference itself is the color target. This is common for brand-facing applications like signage, exhibits, displays, prototypes, and marketing installations.

If your goal is visual alignment with Pantone brand standards rather than matching an existing painted surface, a standard match is usually the correct option. For large or high visibility projects with formal brand approval, it can still be wise to review a physical sample under the actual lighting conditions before full production.

Safety and VOC characteristics for Pantone PMS 1895 U depend on the specific paint product and format you select, not on the Pantone color itself. Different spray paints and coatings use different carriers and solvents.

Always review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product you are ordering and follow recommended handling, ventilation, and personal protection guidelines. Use paint products only in appropriate environments and according to the manufacturer instructions.

The Pantone PMS 1895 U color reference stays the same, but the correct paint type depends on where the finished piece will live. For indoor displays, exhibits, and brand environments, interior or display oriented paint systems are typically sufficient.

If the project will be used outdoors or exposed to sunlight, moisture, or temperature swings, choose an exterior rated paint or coating designed for those conditions. Selecting the right paint type helps preserve appearance and reduces the risk of premature fading or wear.

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 1895 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 1895 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.
