Pantone™ PMS 2736 U

PMS 2736 U is a Pantone color standard, not a material-specific formula. Different substrates absorb and reflect light differently, which can change how the color appears. Surface texture, porosity, and reflectivity all influence perceived depth and saturation.

For multi-material builds, evaluate PMS 2736 U on each actual substrate used in the final project. This helps confirm whether a standard Pantone match is acceptable or if sampling and approval on each material is needed before full production.

PMS 2736 U is a vivid, saturated color, which can make coverage more sensitive to application technique. Multiple light coats typically produce a more uniform appearance than one heavy coat.

Allow each coat to flash off before applying the next. This reduces mottling and helps the color build evenly, especially on large brand-facing surfaces where consistency is critical.

Yes. The suffix is part of the Pantone reference and indicates the specific standard the color is being matched to. Pantone codes can look similar but reference different printed standards.

Before ordering PMS 2736 U, confirm that this exact code and suffix align with your brand guidelines or project documentation. This avoids receiving a color that is technically correct but not the intended brand reference.

The finish choice can noticeably affect how PMS 2736 U is perceived. Gloss finishes tend to increase visual punch and saturation but can introduce glare under strong lighting. Matte finishes reduce reflections but may appear slightly softer.

Consider viewing distance, lighting conditions, and approval expectations when choosing a finish. For critical brand applications, testing PMS 2736 U in the intended sheen under actual lighting is recommended.

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 2736 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 2736 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.
