Pantone™ PMS 3298 U

PMS 3298 U is a Pantone PMS reference color, and its appearance can shift based on lighting and viewing conditions. Different light sources can emphasize or reduce certain color components, which may make the same painted surface look slightly different from one environment to another.

For brand-facing projects, evaluate PMS 3298 U under the same lighting where it will be displayed. This helps confirm that the color appearance meets expectations in its real-world setting and reduces surprises during brand review or installation.

PMS 3298 U is a saturated Pantone color, and best results are typically achieved by applying multiple light coats rather than one heavy coat. Light coats help build color evenly and reduce the risk of runs or uneven texture.

Allow appropriate flash time between coats so solvents can escape before applying the next layer. This approach supports more uniform color development and a smoother finish, especially for brand and display applications.

PMS 3298 U is part of the Pantone Matching System, which is designed to communicate a specific color target across vendors, materials, and production methods. Brands use Pantone PMS colors to create recognizable and consistent visual identities.

When PMS 3298 U is specified, the goal is visual alignment with the Pantone reference, not a specific paint formula or finish. This makes it well suited for displays, signage, prototypes, and other brand-facing elements where color consistency is critical.

Shipping transit time for PMS 3298 U paint depends on factors such as your location and the shipping method selected at checkout. Transit time begins after the paint is produced and shipped.

If you have a deadline tied to a marketing event or installation, plan accordingly and allow extra time for transit. Ordering early helps reduce risk when color accuracy and on-time delivery are both important.

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 3298 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 3298 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.
