Pantone™ PMS 7418 U

Pantone PMS 7418 U is a defined color target, but the surface it is applied to will change how it looks. Smooth substrates reflect light more evenly, which can make the color appear cleaner and more saturated. Textured or porous surfaces create shadows and uneven reflection, often making PMS 7418 U look darker or less vivid.

If visual accuracy matters, especially for brand-facing elements, evaluate PMS 7418 U on the actual substrate and texture you plan to use rather than relying on how it appears on a different surface.

Pantone PMS 7418 U paint is custom made to order based on the selected format and finish. Because it is produced specifically for your order, changes after production are difficult.

Before ordering, confirm the exact Pantone code, the product format, and the sheen you need. For high-visibility or large projects, ordering a sample first can help confirm coverage, hide, and overall appearance under your actual lighting conditions.

You should always order using the complete Pantone code, including the U suffix in PMS 7418 U. The code defines the exact Pantone color standard, while similar names or missing suffixes can refer to different targets.

Using the full code helps ensure the paint is matched to the correct Pantone PMS reference and reduces the risk of receiving a color that does not align with your brand specification.

The finish you choose will change how PMS 7418 U is perceived. Matte finishes reduce glare and can make the color appear slightly softer or deeper. Gloss finishes reflect more light, which can increase perceived saturation and visual punch.

Consider viewing distance and lighting when deciding. For close viewing or brightly lit environments, matte can improve readability. For displays meant to stand out from a distance, gloss may enhance impact. Reviewing a sample in the intended setting is the most reliable way to decide.

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.

It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 7418 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.
