PMS 2735 U is a Pantone PMS color specified as a deep violet-purple with a strong blue bias. It conveys intensity, depth, boldness, and a controlled, authoritative visual presence in brand and display contexts.
The color appears extremely dark, with an LRV of 1.73, and reads as cool due to its blue-leaning violet hue. It is highly saturated and visually dense rather than muted, with a subtle blue undertone that becomes more apparent under bright or cool lighting.
PMS 2735 U works well in brand-facing displays, signage, and components where a dark, dramatic violet is needed to anchor lighter elements or convey seriousness and impact. Because of its very low lightness and high saturation, careful surface preparation, consistent application, and adequate film build can help achieve even coverage, and lighting and finish choices should be evaluated on a sample surface.
Similar colors: PMS 2685 U: slightly lighter and less saturated, with a more open violet appearance.PMS 2745 U: darker and heavier, with reduced chromatic clarity.
PMS 2613 U: brighter and more vivid, with a stronger purple-forward expression.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 2735 U
What durability should I expect from spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 2735 U?
Spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 2735 U is intended for visual brand accuracy, not as a durability specification. Actual durability depends on surface preparation, the paint system selected, and the environment where it will be used.
For display and marketing applications, proper cleaning, priming, and applying enough coats are critical for consistent color and coverage, especially with saturated Pantone colors. If the painted surface will face abrasion, frequent handling, or outdoor exposure, selecting an appropriate paint type and optional clear topcoat is important to manage wear and fading expectations.
How do I get help choosing the right paint type for Pantone PMS 2735 U?
If you are unsure which paint type to order for Pantone PMS 2735 U, contact MyPerfectColor before purchasing. Provide details about the substrate, whether the item will be used indoors or outdoors, expected handling or wear, and the desired finish.
This information allows the team to recommend a paint format and chemistry that best balances visual accuracy, coverage, and durability for your specific application.
How does surface texture affect the appearance of Pantone PMS 2735 U?
Surface texture can noticeably change how Pantone PMS 2735 U appears once applied. Smooth surfaces reflect light more evenly, making the color look cleaner and more saturated, while textured or porous surfaces create shadowing that can make the same color appear darker or less vivid.
Because Pantone PMS colors are visual standards, it is important to evaluate the color on the actual substrate and texture used in the final application, especially for brand-facing displays.
What is the typical lead time for paint matched to Pantone PMS 2735 U?
Paint matched to Pantone PMS 2735 U is made to order. Production lead time varies based on the selected paint type, order size, and current production volume.
Because Pantone matched paint is custom produced, it is recommended to plan ahead for marketing schedules and request timing details before placing an order if deadlines are critical.
How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 2735 U?
Can I use the Pantone PMS 2735 U for touch up?
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.
