Pantone™ PMS 2655 U

PMS 2655 U is a bright, saturated Pantone color, and colors in this range often have lower hide than neutral tones. That means the underlying surface can influence how uniform the color looks, especially on the first coat.

Plan for additional coats to reach a consistent appearance, and avoid judging coverage until the coating has fully dried. If the substrate varies in color or texture, priming and test-spotting are important steps to confirm how many coats are needed for PMS 2655 U.

Successful results with PMS 2655 U start with clean, well-prepared surfaces. Remove dust, grease, and residues so the coating can adhere evenly. On smooth or glossy substrates, light scuffing may be appropriate to promote adhesion.

Because Pantone matches are visual targets, always apply a small test area on the actual substrate. This helps confirm appearance and coverage before committing to full application of PMS 2655 U.

When approving PMS 2655 U, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same type of substrate. Lighting changes can significantly affect how saturated Pantone colors appear.

Allow samples to fully dry and cure before making a final judgment. Reviewing PMS 2655 U too early can lead to incorrect approval decisions, especially with vivid colors.

The finish you choose can change how PMS 2655 U is perceived. Glossier finishes tend to increase visual punch and saturation but can introduce glare under strong lighting. Matte finishes reduce glare but may appear slightly softer.

Consider viewing distance, lighting conditions, and brand expectations when deciding. For critical brand applications, testing PMS 2655 U in both finishes on the actual substrate is the most reliable way to choose.

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 2655 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 2655 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.
