Pantone™ PMS 358 U

PMS 358 U is a Pantone PMS color, which means it is a visual color target rather than a fixed paint formula. When reordering, the best way to keep results consistent is to stay with the same product type and sheen, and to approve color the same way each time.

For repeat runs, reference the same Pantone standard and avoid switching formats unless you plan to re-evaluate appearance. Changes in sheen, substrate, or application method can alter how PMS 358 U looks, even when the color target is the same.

The SDS is associated with the specific paint product, not the Pantone color code itself. PMS 358 U defines the color target, but safety and handling information depends on the paint type you select.

After choosing your product format for PMS 358 U, the corresponding SDS can be found in the SDS library for that product. If you change product types, you should review the SDS for the new selection.

Yes. PMS 358 U is commonly used in prototypes and concept models where visual brand alignment is important. The Pantone PMS reference provides a clear color target for early-stage evaluation and presentation.

For prototype workflows, choose a paint format that matches how the model will be viewed and handled. Evaluate the color on the actual substrate and under expected lighting so stakeholders can confirm appearance before moving to broader production.

Sampling is recommended when PMS 358 U will be used in high-visibility brand applications, large installations, or projects requiring formal brand approval. It is also important when lighting conditions or substrates could influence how the color appears.

A sample allows you to confirm coverage, visual impact, and overall acceptance before committing to a full run. This step helps reduce brand risk, especially for saturated Pantone colors evaluated across different materials.

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 358 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 358 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.
