Pantone™ PMS 391 U

Pantone PMS 391 U is a licensed color standard, not a generic color name or paint formula. Licensed reproduction means the match is created using authorized Pantone references and processes intended to visually align with the Pantone PMS target.

This matters for brand work because unlicensed or informal matches can drift in hue, brightness, or saturation. If PMS 391 U is specified in brand standards for displays, signage, or marketing environments, using an authorized reproduction reduces approval risk and improves consistency across vendors and materials.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 391 U is made to order. Production time depends on the paint format selected, order size, and current production volume.

Most orders ship after the paint is mixed and quality checked, not from pre-made stock. If your project has a fixed marketing or installation date, allow extra time for production and shipping, especially for larger quantities or specialty formats.

Yes. Surface texture can noticeably change how PMS 391 U is perceived. Smooth surfaces reflect light more evenly and usually appear brighter and more saturated. Textured or porous surfaces create shadowing and scatter light, which can make the same color look darker or less vivid.

Because PMS 391 U is a visually strong color, it is a good practice to test it on the actual substrate and finish used in the project before final production or brand approval.

One spray can of paint matched to Pantone PMS 391 U typically covers about 8 to 12 square feet with a single coat. Actual coverage depends on spray technique, surface texture, and how many coats are needed.

Highly saturated Pantone colors like PMS 391 U may require additional coats for uniform color and hide, especially on darker or uneven substrates. For planning purposes, assume multiple coats and add extra cans to avoid color variation between batches.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 391 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.
