Pantone™ PMS 7496 U

PMS 7496 U is a Pantone color standard, not a material-specific paint formula. When it is matched into paint, the final appearance can change based on the substrate. Porous materials absorb paint differently than non-porous ones, surface texture affects light reflection, and gloss or sheen can alter perceived brightness and saturation.

For projects using multiple materials, evaluate PMS 7496 U on the actual substrates used in the final build. This helps confirm whether a standard Pantone match is acceptable or if adjustments or additional sampling are needed for brand approval.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the specific paint product and chemistry, not to the PMS 7496 U color code itself. Once you select the paint type, such as spray paint, epoxy, or urethane, the SDS for that product is available in the SDS library.

If you need an SDS for compliance or review, first confirm the exact product format you are ordering in PMS 7496 U, then reference the SDS associated with that product.

Compare PMS 7496 U samples under consistent lighting and on the same substrate whenever possible. Different light sources can shift how green and yellow tones are perceived, which can affect approval decisions.

Allow painted samples to fully dry and cure before judging the color. Evaluating too early can lead to approval issues once the coating reaches its final appearance.

For PMS 7496 U spray paint, apply multiple light coats rather than one heavy coat. This helps improve uniformity and reduces issues like uneven color or runs.

Allow appropriate flash time between coats so solvents can escape before the next layer is applied. Rushing the process can affect coverage and the final visual match to the Pantone reference.

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 7496 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 7496 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.
