Pantone™ PMS 7490 U

When approving PMS 7490 U, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same type of substrate whenever possible. Differences in light source or material can shift how the color appears.

Always allow the coating to fully dry and cure before making a final decision. PMS 7490 U can change slightly as it dries, and judging it too early can lead to rejecting an otherwise acceptable match.

For formal approvals, evaluate the painted sample directly next to the Pantone reference and focus on overall visual alignment rather than expecting an exact numeric match.

The choice between matte and gloss for PMS 7490 U affects how the color is perceived. Gloss finishes typically appear more saturated and vivid but can introduce glare under strong lighting.

Matte finishes reduce reflections and can feel more controlled in close viewing situations, but they may appear slightly flatter or less punchy.

Consider viewing distance and lighting conditions where PMS 7490 U will be used, and approve the finish that best supports the intended visual impact of the brand.

PMS 7490 U is a visual color standard, not a material-specific formula. Different substrates absorb and reflect light differently, which can change how the color appears.

Smooth, non-porous surfaces may make PMS 7490 U look cleaner and more saturated, while textured or absorbent materials can mute or shift its appearance.

For multi-material projects, it is recommended to evaluate PMS 7490 U on each actual substrate used in the final build before approving production.

Paint matched to PMS 7490 U is made to order rather than pulled from stock. Typical lead times depend on the product type selected and current production volume.

Custom spray paint and other specialty formats may require additional processing time compared to standard coatings.

If your project has a fixed deadline, it is best to place the order early and allow time for sample review and approval before full production.

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 7490 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 7490 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.
