PMS 295 U is a Pantone PMS color specified as a deep, subdued navy blue. It conveys a serious, controlled, and corporate-leaning presence with a cool, disciplined, and low-key visual character.
The color appears very dark, with a low light reflectance value of 2.3. This color reads as cool, with a blue-dominant cast and moderate saturation that maintains clarity without appearing vivid.
This color has a subtle violet-leaning undertone that deepens its navy appearance. The color can appear flatter or denser in matte finishes and more inky in higher sheens.
PMS 295 U works well in brand environments where a dark blue is needed without the brightness of more saturated navies. Due to its low LRV, surface preparation and even application are important, as uneven substrates or inconsistent film thickness can show as patchiness under direct lighting.
Similar colors: PMS 295 C: slightly deeper and cleaner in appearance, with a smoother navy character.MyPerfectColor is the official licensee of Pantone and authorized to reproduce the Pantone™ PMS 295 U color in spray paint and other paints.

Pantone PMS 295 U is a licensed color standard, not a generic color name. Ordering from an authorized Pantone licensee matters because the color is reproduced against the official Pantone reference, not approximated visually or converted from another system.
MyPerfectColor is authorized to reproduce Pantone PMS colors in paint. This helps reduce the risk of brand color drift when PMS 295 U is used on displays, signage, or branded environments where visual accuracy is required.
The finish you choose will affect how Pantone PMS 295 U is perceived. A gloss finish increases reflectivity and can make the color appear deeper and more saturated, especially under direct lighting. A matte finish reduces glare and can make the color easier to read at close range or under uneven lighting.
For brand applications, consider viewing distance and lighting. Gloss often has more visual punch from a distance, while matte can provide more controlled appearance in high-glare environments. Finish choice does not change the target Pantone color, but it does change how it appears.
Pantone PMS 295 U can appear different depending on the substrate because materials vary in absorption, texture, and reflectivity. Smooth, non-porous surfaces typically show more depth and saturation, while textured or absorbent materials can mute the color.
When PMS 295 U is used across multiple materials in the same project, it is recommended to evaluate samples on each actual substrate. This helps confirm the appearance before full production and reduces surprises during brand review.
If timing is critical, expedited production may be available for Pantone PMS 295 U at checkout. Expedited options prioritize production but do not change the color matching process.
For projects with firm delivery dates or coordinated installs, it is recommended to contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to confirm lead time expectations. This helps ensure the paint arrives when your marketing or display schedule requires it.
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 295 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 295 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.
