Pantone™ PMS 379 U

PMS 379 U is a Pantone Matching System code, not just a color name. The number identifies the color target, and the U suffix indicates the uncoated Pantone reference.

When ordering PMS 379 U paint, always specify the full code including the suffix. Ordering by a partial name or without the U can result in a different target, such as the coated version, which can look noticeably different.

Pantone codes are communication standards for visual matching. They do not define a paint formula, finish, or performance. Your order should focus on the exact Pantone code first, then choose the paint format and sheen separately.

Sampling PMS 379 U is recommended for high-visibility brand projects, large installations, or any work that requires formal brand approval.

This color is visually bright, and appearance can change based on substrate, sheen, and lighting. A sample allows you to evaluate color accuracy under real conditions before committing to full production.

Sampling is especially important when PMS 379 U will be applied across multiple materials or viewed under retail, exhibit, or event lighting.

PMS 379 U is commonly used in prototypes and concept models where visual brand alignment is more important than material-specific performance.

For early-stage models, selecting a paint format that applies easily and dries quickly can help speed evaluation cycles. The goal is to confirm color appearance and brand intent, not final durability.

Review prototypes under the lighting where the final product will be seen, and plan for a sample approval step before scaling to production quantities.

Coverage for PMS 379 U spray paint depends on surface texture, application method, and number of coats.

As a general planning guide, one spray can is usually sufficient for one to two light coats on a small, smooth display panel. Textured surfaces, high-hide expectations, or deeper color uniformity may require additional cans.

For brand-critical work, it is wise to order extra material to allow for test sprays and consistent coverage across all components.

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 379 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 379 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.
