Pantone™ PMS 270 U

PMS 270 U is a Pantone Matching System color that serves as a visual color target. When you order PMS 270 U paint, you are ordering paint mixed to visually match the Pantone reference, not a Pantone formula, coating process, or finish specification.

Pantone does not publish paint formulas. The match is created by comparing to the Pantone standard under controlled lighting. Because substrate, sheen, and lighting affect appearance, the result should be evaluated as a visual match rather than an exact numeric equivalence.

Sheen has a meaningful impact on how PMS 270 U appears. Higher sheens reflect more light and can make the color look brighter or slightly lighter. Lower sheens scatter light and can make the color appear softer or deeper.

Choose sheen based on viewing distance, lighting, and substrate. For brand-facing displays viewed at a distance, a satin or semi-gloss is often easier to visually align. For close-up viewing or uneven substrates, a lower sheen may reduce glare but can shift perceived color. If brand approval is critical, ordering a sample in the intended sheen is recommended.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the paint product and chemistry, not to the PMS 270 U color code itself. The same PMS 270 U color can be produced in different product types, each with its own SDS.

After selecting the specific paint format and product, look up the SDS for that product in the SDS library provided for the paint line you are ordering. Always reference the SDS for the exact product, not just the color name.

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 270 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 270 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.
