Pantone™ PMS 2405 U

PMS 2405 U is a Pantone color reference, not a finished material specification. Before a retail pop-up or brand installation, plan to evaluate the color under the actual lighting where it will be seen. Lighting temperature and intensity can change how saturated Pantone colors appear.

Because PMS 2405 U is highly vivid, confirm coverage and hide expectations on the chosen substrate. Sampling is recommended so you can review appearance, sheen, and uniformity before committing to a full production run.

PMS 2405 U can be ordered as a custom color match in multiple paint formats depending on your application needs. Common options include custom spray paint, paint pens, and brush-in-cap bottles.

Spray paint is typically chosen for larger brand surfaces and displays, while paint pens or brush-in-cap bottles are better for small components or detailed work. The Pantone code defines the color target, not the application method, so select the format based on how and where the color will be applied.

PMS 2405 U is commonly specified as a brand color target for fabricated signs, displays, and exhibit elements. Fabricators use the Pantone reference to achieve visual alignment with brand standards across different components.

Because substrates and finishes vary, it is best practice to test PMS 2405 U on the actual material being used. This helps confirm color appearance, coverage, and consistency before producing multiple or high-visibility pieces.

Sampling PMS 2405 U is recommended for large installations, high-visibility brand projects, or any work requiring formal brand approval. This is especially important when the color will be viewed under specific lighting or applied across multiple substrates.

A sample allows you to evaluate color accuracy, sheen, and coverage before full production, reducing the risk of rework or rejection for brand-critical applications.

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 2405 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 2405 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.
