Pantone™ PMS 355 U

PMS 355 U is a Pantone color target, not a promise that every material will look identical. Substrate properties like absorption, surface texture, and reflectivity can change how the color is perceived.

For multi-material builds, evaluate PMS 355 U on each actual substrate you plan to use. This helps confirm brightness, saturation, and uniformity before final production, especially for brand-facing displays.

Finish choice can significantly change how PMS 355 U reads. Gloss finishes typically increase color punch and saturation but can introduce glare under strong lighting.

Matte finishes reduce glare and can feel more controlled at close viewing distances, but may appear slightly less vivid. Consider the lighting, viewing distance, and brand expectations, and review a sample in the intended finish when possible.

Yes. PMS 355 U is commonly used in prototypes and concept models where visual brand alignment matters. It provides a clear color reference for reviews, approvals, and stakeholder discussions.

For best results, choose a paint format that matches how the prototype will be viewed and handled, and evaluate the color under expected lighting conditions before finalizing the model.

Transit time for PMS 355 U paint depends on your location and the shipping method selected at checkout. Production time and carrier transit time both affect delivery.

If you have a fixed deadline for a marketing or display project, plan ahead and allow buffer time. Ordering early helps avoid schedule pressure if adjustments or additional quantities are needed.

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 355 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 355 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.
