Pantone™ PMS 711 U

When using Pantone PMS 711 U in pop-ups or retail environments, confirm performance under the actual lighting where it will be installed. Bright or warm lighting can shift how saturated Pantone colors are perceived.

For large or high-visibility installations, order a physical sample first and review it on the final substrate. This helps confirm coverage, uniformity, and visual impact before committing to full production.

Because PMS 711 U is a vivid color, plan for proper surface preparation and sufficient coats to achieve even hide across large panels or display elements.

The choice between matte and gloss can significantly change how Pantone PMS 711 U appears. Gloss finishes increase saturation and visual punch but can introduce glare under strong retail or exhibit lighting.

Matte finishes reduce reflections and can appear more controlled at close viewing distances, but may slightly reduce perceived brightness. If the color will be viewed from a distance or needs maximum impact, gloss is often preferred. If glare control is critical, matte may be the better choice.

Testing a sample in the intended finish under actual lighting is strongly recommended before final ordering.

Pantone PMS 711 U is a licensed color standard, not a generic color name. Accurate reproduction requires access to Pantone reference data and approved matching processes.

MyPerfectColor is an authorized licensee for Pantone PMS colors, which means PMS 711 U is matched to the Pantone standard rather than approximated visually. This is important for brand consistency across vendors, materials, and future reorders.

Unlicensed or generic matches can vary significantly, especially with saturated Pantone colors.

Start by selecting the paint format appropriate for your project, such as spray paint or another available format for branding and display applications. Next, choose the desired finish, keeping in mind how lighting and viewing distance will affect PMS 711 U.

Confirm the quantity needed, allowing for extra material if multiple coats are required for full hide. If the project is large or brand-critical, order a sample first to verify appearance on your substrate.

Carefully review your selections before checkout to ensure the correct Pantone code, format, and finish are specified.

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 711 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 711 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.
