PMS 4695 U is a Pantone PMS color specified as part of the Pantone Matching System and is commonly referenced for brand-controlled applications. The color conveys a grounded, dense, muted, warm, and serious visual character.

The color appears extremely dark, with an LRV of 3.52. It leans warm rather than cool and has low to moderate saturation, reading as restrained rather than vivid, with a brown undertone and subtle warmth.

This color works well in applications where a deep, low-reflectance brown is needed to anchor a palette or reduce visual brightness in branded environments. Because of its darkness, surface preparation and uniform application are important to avoid patchiness, especially on porous or high-contrast substrates.

This Pantone PMS color is defined by the Pantone Matching System standard. Evaluate the color using a physical Pantone reference and a real paint sample in the intended lighting and finish. Paint appearance varies by finish and lighting.

Similar colors:


PMS 4695 C: similar in hue but typically appears slightly deeper and more compact.
PMS 469 U: lighter and more open, with less visual density.
PMS 476 U: darker and cooler, with a more neutral brown character.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 4695 U

What should I expect for batch to batch consistency when reordering Pantone PMS 4695 U?

Pantone PMS 4695 U is a color target, not a fixed paint formula. When you reorder, the best way to keep results consistent is to stick to the same product type, sheen, and application method each time.

For repeat projects, use the same Pantone reference standard and approval approach you used previously. Changing finish, substrate, or lighting conditions can change how PMS 4695 U appears, even if the color target is the same.

Where can I find the SDS for paint made to match Pantone PMS 4695 U?

The SDS is tied to the specific paint product, not the Pantone color itself. PMS 4695 U identifies the color target, while the SDS depends on whether you select spray paint, brush-in-cap bottles, paint pens, or another format.

After choosing your product type, you can access the corresponding SDS from the SDS library for that product. The same SDS applies regardless of which Pantone PMS color is mixed into that paint.

Is ordering by name enough, or do I need the full Pantone code for PMS 4695 U?

You should always order using the full Pantone code, including the suffix. "PMS 4695 U" specifies a different target than other versions of 4695.

Using only a color name or omitting the suffix can result in the wrong reference target being used. For accurate brand matching, always provide the exact Pantone PMS code as published in your brand standards.

Will Pantone PMS 4695 U need an undercoat or extra coats for full coverage?

Pantone PMS 4695 U is a saturated brand color, and colors like this often have lower hide than neutral tones. Depending on the substrate and product format, additional coats may be needed to achieve uniform coverage.

Using an appropriate undercoat can improve consistency and reduce the total number of finish coats required. Planning for test application and coverage evaluation is recommended, especially for high visibility brand or display work.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 4695 U?

Can I use the Pantone PMS 4695 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.
