Pantone™ PMS 714 U

Yes. PMS 714 U is a defined Pantone color target, but surface texture can change how that color is perceived after application.

Smooth substrates reflect light more evenly, which can make PMS 714 U appear brighter and more saturated. Textured or porous surfaces introduce shadowing and uneven reflectivity, which can make the same color look darker or slightly muted.

If visual accuracy matters for branding or display work, it is best to evaluate PMS 714 U on the actual substrate and texture you plan to use before committing to full production.

PMS 714 U paint is custom made to order based on the Pantone reference, not pulled from pre-mixed stock. Because of this, product type, sheen, and format should be selected carefully before ordering.

Once production begins, changes are difficult, so sampling is recommended when the project is high visibility, involves approval steps, or uses an unfamiliar surface. This helps confirm appearance under your lighting and viewing conditions.

PMS 714 U is a licensed Pantone PMS color standard used to communicate an exact color target. Accurate reproduction requires access to Pantone reference data and approved matching methods.

MyPerfectColor is authorized to reproduce Pantone PMS colors in paint formats, which helps ensure PMS 714 U is matched to the official Pantone standard rather than approximated visually.

This matters for brand and marketing applications where consistency across vendors and materials is critical.

As a general guideline, one spray can of PMS 714 U covers about 10 to 12 square feet per coat. Actual coverage can vary based on surface texture, application technique, and the number of coats required.

More textured or absorbent surfaces usually need additional paint, and vivid Pantone colors like PMS 714 U may require multiple coats for uniform appearance.

For planning purposes, calculate coverage conservatively and consider ordering extra to account for test sprays and finish variation.

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 714 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 714 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.
