Pantone™ PMS 7405 U

PMS 7405 U is a Pantone PMS color target, and its appearance can shift depending on the light source and viewing environment. Warm, cool, or mixed lighting can change how bright or saturated the color appears.

For brand-critical work, evaluate PMS 7405 U under the same lighting where it will be displayed. This helps avoid surprises caused by metamerism, where a color match looks correct in one light but different in another.

The finish choice can noticeably affect how PMS 7405 U is perceived. Gloss finishes tend to increase visual punch and saturation but can introduce glare under strong lighting. Matte finishes reduce glare and can look more controlled, especially at close viewing distances.

Consider how and where the color will be seen. Lighting intensity, viewing distance, and the desired brand impact should guide whether matte or gloss is the better option for PMS 7405 U.

When approving PMS 7405 U, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same or very similar substrates. Differences in material or texture can influence how the color reads.

Allow the paint to fully dry and cure before making a final judgment. Evaluating too early can lead to approval decisions that do not reflect the final appearance.

PMS 7405 U is a vivid Pantone color, and highly saturated hues can have lower hide. This means additional coats may be needed to achieve uniform coverage.

Using an appropriate undercoat can help improve consistency and reduce the number of top coats required. Planning for this upfront helps ensure PMS 7405 U looks even and brand-accurate across the entire surface.

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 7405 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.
