Pantone™ PMS 347 U

Ordering PMS 347 U means you are purchasing paint mixed to visually match the Pantone PMS 347 U color reference. Pantone PMS is a standardized color target used to communicate brand color, not a paint formula, coating system, or finish specification.

The match is created to align visually with the Pantone reference under typical viewing conditions. Differences in substrate, sheen, application method, and lighting can affect how PMS 347 U appears once applied. For brand-facing work, this is the expected and accepted approach.

Yes. PMS 347 U is commonly specified in brand standards for signage, displays, and exhibit components where visual brand accuracy is required. It serves as a shared color target across fabricators and materials.

Because PMS 347 U is a vivid, saturated green, appearance can vary by substrate and lighting. For high-visibility installations or formal brand approvals, it is recommended to review a physical sample applied to the actual material before full production.

Sheen selection affects how PMS 347 U is perceived. Higher sheens can make the color appear brighter and more saturated, while lower sheens can soften the appearance and reduce reflections.

When selecting sheen, consider viewing distance, lighting, and substrate. Displays viewed up close or under strong lighting may benefit from reduced glare, while elements viewed from a distance may tolerate higher sheen. If color approval is critical, evaluate the chosen sheen with a physical sample.

Proper surface preparation helps PMS 347 U apply evenly and appear consistent. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust, oils, or residues. Degreasing is important for plastics, metals, and fabricated parts.

Light scuffing may be appropriate on smooth or glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Because saturated colors like PMS 347 U can be sensitive to surface conditions, applying a small test area on the actual substrate is strongly recommended before full application.

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 347 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 347 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.
