Pantone™ PMS 721 U

Pantone PMS 721 U is a brand color reference used to communicate a visual target across vendors for signs, displays, and exhibit elements. It tells the fabricator what color the finished piece should visually match, not how to manufacture it.

For display fabrication, the most reliable approach is to evaluate a sample made in PMS 721 U on the actual substrate and finish you plan to use. Material type, sheen, and lighting can all change how the color is perceived, so confirming with a real sample helps avoid surprises at installation.

Pantone PMS 721 U is intended as a brand color target, not a formula for matching an existing painted surface. If you need extremely close visual alignment on a specific item or component, the most accurate path is to send a physical part for matching.

Providing the actual item allows the color to be matched to its real appearance, accounting for aging, finish, and substrate. This approach is more reliable than ordering by the Pantone code alone when the goal is to blend into an existing surface.

Choosing the right paint type for PMS 721 U depends on the substrate, exposure conditions, and desired finish. The Pantone code defines the color target, but it does not specify the coating type or performance characteristics.

If you are unsure which format or coating is appropriate, contact MyPerfectColor with details about what you are painting, where it will be used, and how it will be viewed. This helps ensure the PMS 721 U color is produced in a paint system suited to your specific application.

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 721 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 721 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.
