Pantone™ PMS 194 U

Before committing to Pantone PMS 194 U for a retail or pop-up environment, plan to evaluate the color under the actual lighting where it will be installed. Lighting type and intensity can change how saturated Pantone colors appear. For high-traffic installations, confirm the paint type is suitable for the expected wear and handling. Ordering a sample and reviewing it on the intended substrate helps reduce approval risk before producing larger quantities.

If you are unsure which paint format is best for Pantone PMS 194 U, contact MyPerfectColor with details about your project. Include the substrate, whether the application is temporary or long-term, the environment, and your preferred finish. This information allows the team to recommend an appropriate paint or spray paint option that aligns with your branding and application needs.

Pantone PMS 194 U is a vivid, saturated color, which can be more challenging to reproduce across different materials and finishes. MyPerfectColor matches to the Pantone standard as a visual target, but appearance can vary based on substrate, sheen, and lighting. For brand-critical applications, reviewing a physical sample before full production is recommended to confirm acceptance.

When applying Pantone PMS 194 U over larger surfaces, consistency is key. Use the same application method, maintain even coverage, and plan sufficient coats to achieve full hide, as saturated colors may require more build. Applying all sections under similar conditions and from the same batch helps avoid visible variation across panels or walls.

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 194 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 194 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.
