Pantone™ PMS 361 U

Pantone PMS 361 U is commonly specified in brand standards for marketing graphics, displays, and experiential environments where a vivid green is part of the brand identity. In these cases, the Pantone code serves as the visual reference target, not a paint formula. When ordering paint matched to PMS 361 U, the goal is visual alignment with the Pantone standard under the intended lighting and finish conditions.

Because PMS colors are defined for print and visual reference, it is important to review samples on the actual substrate and at the final scale when the application is high visibility or requires brand approval.

The "U" in Pantone PMS 361 U indicates that the color reference comes from the uncoated Pantone series. Pantone colors can vary between coated and uncoated references, even when the number is the same.

When ordering paint, you should confirm that PMS 361 U is the exact reference specified in your brand guidelines or project documentation. Ordering the wrong suffix, such as using a coated reference when an uncoated one is required, can result in a noticeable visual difference.

Pantone PMS 361 U can be matched into both interior and exterior paint types, but the paint chemistry should be selected based on where and how it will be used. Interior applications prioritize appearance under controlled lighting, while exterior applications require resistance to weather and sunlight.

The Pantone code defines the color target only. You should choose an interior or exterior paint product based on exposure, durability needs, and substrate, then apply the PMS 361 U color match within that product type.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 361 U is made to order. Typical production lead time depends on the paint format selected and current production volume.

Most orders are produced within a few business days before shipping, but larger quantities or specialized formats may require additional time. If your project has a fixed deadline, it is recommended to account for production time and shipping when placing your order.

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 361 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 361 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.
