Pantone™ PMS 326 U

Pantone PMS 326 U is a Pantone Matching System reference, not a paint company formula. Most paint brands use their own proprietary color palettes, so a direct or guaranteed equivalent is usually not available.

If you need PMS 326 U for brand-facing work, the safest approach is to order paint made to the Pantone PMS target rather than relying on a cross-reference. Cross-referenced colors may look close in one setting but can shift under different lighting, finishes, or substrates.

Yes. For projects that require brand approval, ordering a small sample of Pantone PMS 326 U is strongly recommended before committing to larger quantities.

Evaluate the sample on the actual substrate and under the installed lighting conditions. This helps confirm visual acceptance, finish choice, and coverage expectations as part of your approval workflow.

Pantone PMS 326 U is a vivid, saturated color, and colors like this can have lower hide than more neutral tones.

Depending on the substrate and primer color, additional coats may be needed to achieve uniform coverage and appearance. Testing coverage during sampling helps set realistic expectations before production.

Expedited production options are available for Pantone PMS 326 U and can be selected during checkout when timing is critical.

If you have a fixed deadline or coordinated installation schedule, contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to confirm lead time and production options for your specific format.

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 326 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 326 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.
