Pantone™ PMS 213 U

PMS 213 U is a Pantone PMS color used as a brand communication standard. It defines a visual color target so different vendors and materials can aim for the same appearance.

It is not a paint formula or finish specification. When you order paint matched to PMS 213 U, the goal is visual alignment to the Pantone reference so marketing, displays, and environments read as the same brand color.

Paint matched to PMS 213 U is custom made to order. This means choices like product type and sheen should be confirmed before ordering.

Because Pantone colors are visual targets, the final appearance can vary by substrate, finish, and lighting. Sampling is recommended for high visibility or brand critical uses, especially since custom made items are harder to revise after production.

PMS 213 U is often specified when fabricated elements must align with established brand standards. Using a Pantone reference helps fabricators, designers, and installers work toward a shared color target.

For signs, displays, and exhibits, evaluating a sample on the actual substrate is important. Material, finish, and lighting can all influence how the color is perceived in the final installation.

PMS 213 U is available as custom spray paint and other paint formats for branding and display applications. Options may include spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and other coatings where offered.

The best format depends on how the color will be applied, the size of the area, and the level of visual control needed. Choosing the correct format helps reduce application issues and supports accurate brand presentation.

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 213 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 213 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.
