Pantone™ PMS 5477 U

Pantone PMS 5477 U is a color reference, not a finish specification. The finish you choose can noticeably change how the color is perceived.

Gloss finishes reflect more light and can make PMS 5477 U appear slightly darker and more saturated. Satin or semi-gloss finishes tend to balance depth and readability. Matte finishes absorb more light, which can make the color look softer or lighter, especially under bright lighting.

If visual brand accuracy is critical, confirm the finish early and evaluate a sample in the actual lighting where the color will be seen.

Whether a primer is needed for Pantone PMS 5477 U depends on the substrate, the paint type, and the exposure conditions.

Primers are commonly recommended for raw or porous surfaces, high-contrast color changes, or substrates where adhesion and uniform appearance matter. A suitable primer can also help achieve more consistent coverage, especially when brand-facing color accuracy is important.

If you are applying over a previously coated, compatible surface in good condition, a primer may not be required. When in doubt, testing on the actual material is the safest approach.

The "U" in Pantone PMS 5477 U indicates the Pantone reference series used for the color. Pantone PMS colors can have different suffixes that relate to how the color was originally defined.

When ordering paint matched to PMS 5477 U, it is important to specify the full code exactly as listed in your brand standards or project documentation. Using the wrong suffix can result in a color match that does not meet brand expectations.

Always confirm the complete Pantone code before ordering, especially for brand-critical applications.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 5477 U is typically made to order. Production lead time can vary based on the paint format selected and current production volume.

Because these are custom-matched products, they usually require additional processing time compared to off-the-shelf paints. Shipping time is separate from production time and depends on the selected delivery method.

If your project has a fixed deadline, plan ahead and allow extra time for production and transit.

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 5477 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.
