Pantone™ PMS 562 U

Yes. PMS 562 U is a Pantone color target, not a finish specification. Changing sheen can noticeably change how the color appears. Glossier finishes tend to look deeper and more saturated, while matte or flat finishes can appear lighter or duller even when the same color target is used.

When evaluating PMS 562 U, compare samples in the same finish you plan to use. Comparing a matte sample to a gloss sample can make it seem like two different colors, even if both are matched to the same Pantone reference.

Lighting and viewing conditions strongly affect how PMS 562 U is perceived. Different light sources can shift the apparent brightness, saturation, and undertone of the color, a common effect when viewing Pantone colors across environments.

For brand-critical work, evaluate PMS 562 U under the same lighting where it will be displayed or installed. Reviewing the color only under one lighting condition can lead to surprises once it is moved into its final environment.

For PMS 562 U spray paint, multiple light coats generally produce a more even and visually consistent result than one heavy coat. Thin coats help improve coverage control and reduce surface texture issues.

Allow appropriate flash time between coats so each layer can set before the next is applied. Rushing the process or applying overly heavy coats can affect how the color looks once dry.

Paint matched to PMS 562 U is typically made to order rather than pulled from shelf stock. Production lead time can vary based on the paint format, order size, and current production volume.

If your project has a firm deadline, plan ahead and allow time for color matching and manufacturing. Ordering early helps reduce risk for marketing, display, or brand experience schedules.

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 562 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 562 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.
