Pantone™ PMS 5455 U

PMS 5455 U is a specific Pantone Matching System color identifier. The code, including the U suffix, defines the exact color target. The name alone is not enough to ensure accuracy.

When ordering paint matched to PMS 5455 U, always select the exact code with the correct suffix. Different suffixes indicate different Pantone standards, and choosing the wrong one can result in a noticeably different color.

Yes. Paint matched to PMS 5455 U is custom made to order based on the Pantone color target. Because it is produced specifically for your order, changes after production are limited.

Before ordering, confirm the Pantone code and suffix, the paint format, and the sheen. If the project is high visibility or requires formal brand approval, ordering a sample first can help confirm appearance under your actual lighting and substrate conditions.

Safety and VOC characteristics for PMS 5455 U depend on the specific paint product and format you choose. Each product has its own Safety Data Sheet that outlines handling, ventilation, and personal protective equipment guidance.

Always review the SDS for the exact product you order and follow recommended safety practices during application and curing.

Whether a primer is needed for PMS 5455 U depends on the paint type, the substrate, and the exposure conditions. Some surfaces require primer to ensure proper adhesion and consistent color appearance.

Review the primer recommendations for the specific paint product you select, and consider testing on your actual substrate if uniform coverage and brand accuracy are critical.

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 5455 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.
