Pantone™ PMS 585 U

PMS 585 U is available as custom-matched paint in multiple formats commonly used for branding and display work. Options typically include spray paint for even coverage on fabricated parts, paint pens for controlled marking, and brush-in-cap bottles for small components or prototypes.

Choose the format based on how the color will be applied, not just the color itself. Spray paint is usually the best choice for panels, signage, and exhibit elements where uniform appearance matters. Pens and bottles are better suited to small-scale applications where precision is more important than speed.

The finish you select can noticeably change how PMS 585 U is perceived. Gloss finishes tend to make the color appear brighter and more saturated under strong lighting. Satin finishes offer a balance between color richness and glare control. Matte finishes can make the same color look softer and slightly less vivid.

Because Pantone PMS colors are visual standards, finish choice should be considered part of the color decision. If brand approval is required, it is best to evaluate PMS 585 U in the intended finish and lighting before committing to full production.

PMS 585 U can be produced in paint types intended for either interior or exterior use, but the Pantone code itself does not specify durability or exposure performance. You must choose a paint system designed for the environment where the color will be used.

For exterior or high-exposure applications, select an exterior-rated paint to handle UV light and weathering. For interior displays, exhibits, or brand environments, interior formulations are usually sufficient. The visual color target remains PMS 585 U, but performance depends on the product type you order.

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 585 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 585 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.
