Pantone™ PMS 7402 U

PMS 7402 U is a Pantone reference color, not a paint formula. Pantone books are printed on specific paper under controlled conditions, while paint is applied to real substrates with a chosen sheen. Because of this, a painted match to PMS 7402 U may look different than the book, especially in brightness and saturation.

For brand-critical work, evaluate a sample of the PMS 7402 U paint on the actual material and under the lighting where it will be viewed. This is the best way to confirm acceptance before full production.

Paint matched to PMS 7402 U is made to order. Production time depends on the paint format you select and current production volume. Because this is not an off-the-shelf color, it will not ship the same day.

If you have a fixed deadline, plan for additional time and consider ordering a sample first to confirm color acceptance before committing to a larger quantity.

The finish you choose can change how PMS 7402 U is perceived. Matte finishes reduce glare and can appear softer, which may be helpful in brightly lit environments or close viewing distances. Gloss finishes increase reflectivity and can make the color appear more vivid and saturated.

For logos, displays, or branded components, consider where and how the color will be seen. Sampling PMS 7402 U in the intended sheen and lighting is recommended before finalizing your 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 7402 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.
