PMS 362 U is a Pantone PMS green that communicates clarity, vitality, and environmental associations, with a bright, assertive character suited to brand-forward applications.

The color appears as a medium-dark green with an LRV of 22.94 and reads as cool-leaning within the green spectrum. It exhibits high saturation and strong chroma, with a clean green undertone and minimal yellowing.

PMS 362 U performs well in controlled brand environments where color accuracy and impact are prioritized. Its saturation may require additional coats for even coverage, and lighting conditions can noticeably influence perceived brightness, so sample evaluation on the intended substrate and finish is recommended.

The color is commonly specified for branded signage and display elements where green is a core identity color. This color is used in marketing installations and promotional environments requiring immediate visual recognition.

Similar colors:
PMS 361 U: lighter and more luminous, with higher perceived brightness.
PMS 363 U: darker and more subdued, with reduced chroma.
PMS 348 U: deeper and slightly cooler, with greater visual weight.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 362 U

How should I evaluate PMS 362 U for pop-ups or retail installations before full production?

PMS 362 U is a Pantone PMS reference, so the color target is defined by the Pantone standard, not by a specific paint formula. For pop-ups or retail environments, plan to test a physical sample made with the same product format and finish you intend to install. Evaluate the sample under the actual lighting where it will be used, since retail lighting can shift how saturated greens like PMS 362 U appear.

If the installation is large or high-visibility, confirm coverage and uniformity with a multi-coat sample on the real substrate. This helps avoid surprises related to hide, sheen, or lighting interaction before committing to a full run.

How much area does one spray can of PMS 362 U typically cover?

Coverage for PMS 362 U spray paint depends on surface texture, spray technique, and number of coats. As a planning estimate, a single standard spray can often covers about a dozen square feet per coat on a smooth, sealed surface.

Highly saturated Pantone greens like PMS 362 U may need additional coats for even color and full hide, especially on darker or uneven substrates. Always build in extra material and test coverage on a sample panel before ordering quantities for a project.

What safety and VOC expectations should I have when using paint matched to PMS 362 U?

Paints matched to PMS 362 U follow the safety and VOC characteristics of the specific product format you choose, not the Pantone color itself. Always review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product before use.

Use appropriate ventilation, personal protective equipment, and handling practices as recommended by the SDS. Safety requirements can vary by product type and application environment, so do not assume all PMS-matched paints behave the same.

When is a standard Pantone PMS match the right choice for PMS 362 U?

Ordering a standard Pantone PMS match for PMS 362 U is appropriate when the Pantone reference is the approved color target. This is common for brand-facing displays, signage, exhibits, pop-ups, and prototypes where visual brand accuracy is the priority.

If the project involves permanent retail environments, multiple substrates, or formal brand approval, it is wise to order and approve physical samples first. This confirms that the PMS 362 U match meets expectations under real lighting and material conditions.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 362 U?

Can I use the Pantone PMS 362 U for touch up?

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.

How do I convert PMS 362 U to a different color from another paint company?
