Pantone™ PMS 569 U

Yes. PMS 569 U is defined by the Pantone PMS reference, but changing the finish can change how the color is perceived. A gloss or semi-gloss version of PMS 569 U will usually appear brighter and more saturated, while a matte or flat finish can look softer or darker.

This does not mean the color match is wrong. It means the sheen is affecting reflectivity and how light interacts with the surface. When evaluating PMS 569 U, always compare samples with the same finish under the same lighting.

Surface texture can significantly change how PMS 569 U looks, even when the color match target is correct. Smooth surfaces reflect light evenly, making the color appear cleaner and more saturated. Textured or uneven surfaces create shadows and scatter light, which can make PMS 569 U appear darker or less vivid.

If color accuracy is critical, evaluate PMS 569 U on the same texture and substrate used in the final application before approving production.

PMS 569 U can be matched in paint for plastic applications, but plastics vary widely. Some plastics have low surface energy and may not allow proper adhesion without additional preparation.

Depending on the plastic type, a specific adhesion-promoting primer or surface treatment may be required. Always test PMS 569 U on the actual plastic material before full production to confirm adhesion, appearance, and durability.

Ordering a standard Pantone PMS match for PMS 569 U is appropriate when the Pantone reference is the color authority. This includes brand-facing displays, signage, exhibits, prototypes, and marketing installations where visual alignment to Pantone standards is the primary goal.

If PMS 569 U must be approved under specific lighting, on multiple materials, or for a permanent installation, sampling on the actual substrates is recommended before committing to full production.

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 569 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 569 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.
