Pantone™ PMS 4745 U

PMS 4745 U is a Pantone reference color, not a paint formula. Your Pantone book shows the target color on paper under controlled conditions. When that color is produced as paint, differences can appear due to sheen, substrate, film thickness, and application method.

An Uncoated (U) Pantone reference often looks flatter and lighter on paper than the same color applied as paint. For brand-critical work, compare a painted sample to the Pantone book under the same lighting and evaluate it on the actual material you will use. Sampling is the best way to confirm acceptance before full production.

The SDS is tied to the specific paint product and chemistry, not to the PMS 4745 U color code itself. Once you select a paint type or format, the SDS for that product applies regardless of the color.

After choosing your paint type, refer to the SDS library for that product to download the correct safety data. If you need help identifying which SDS applies to your order, provide the selected product name and we can point you to the correct document.

Like all Pantone colors, PMS 4745 U can shift in appearance depending on lighting and viewing conditions. Different light sources such as daylight, LED, or fluorescent can change how warm, cool, light, or muted the color appears.

This effect, often called metamerism, is normal when matching a paper reference to a painted surface. Always evaluate samples under the same lighting where the finished piece will be displayed, especially for brand-facing installations.

The correct paint type depends on your substrate, finish expectations, environment, and application method, not just the PMS 4745 U color. Different products can change sheen, coverage, and overall appearance even when matched to the same Pantone reference.

If you are unsure, contact MyPerfectColor with details about the material being painted, indoor or outdoor exposure, desired sheen, and how the piece will be viewed. This information helps ensure you order a product that delivers the expected brand appearance.

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 4745 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 4745 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.
