Pantone™ PMS 618 U

PMS 618 U is a Pantone Matching System color, which means it is a defined visual standard rather than a paint formula. Licensed reproduction ensures the color is matched to the official Pantone reference using approved targets and processes.

MyPerfectColor is authorized to reproduce Pantone PMS colors, so PMS 618 U paint is mixed to visually align with the Pantone standard. This is important for brand-facing work where consistency across vendors, materials, and projects matters.

Repeat orders of PMS 618 U are mixed to the same Pantone reference, but exact visual matches across different batches are not guaranteed. Small variations can occur due to raw materials, production timing, and application conditions.

To keep results consistent, reorder the same product type and sheen, apply it in a similar way, and evaluate color under the same lighting. For high-visibility brand projects, approving a sample and keeping it as a future reference is recommended.

As a general guideline, one standard spray can of PMS 618 U covers about 10 to 12 square feet per coat. Actual coverage depends on spray technique, surface texture, primer color, and the number of coats needed.

Because Pantone colors can vary in hide, additional coats may be required for uniform color, especially over dark or uneven substrates. Ordering extra cans helps avoid color differences that can occur if more paint is needed later.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the paint or coating type, not to the Pantone color itself. PMS 618 U uses the same SDS as other colors made in the same product line.

After selecting your paint format for PMS 618 U, look up the corresponding SDS in the SDS library for that specific product. This ensures you are reviewing the correct safety and handling information.

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 618 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 618 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.
