Pantone™ PMS 7497 U

PMS 7497 U is a Pantone PMS color used as a brand-standard visual target for signs, displays, and exhibit elements. In these contexts, the Pantone code communicates the intended color appearance rather than a specific paint formula or finish.

When producing fabricated elements, PMS 7497 U is commonly matched onto the actual substrate being used, such as panels, plastics, or fabricated components. This helps ensure the final appearance aligns with brand expectations once the color is applied, assembled, and viewed under show or venue lighting.

Sampling is recommended for PMS 7497 U when the project is high visibility, brand critical, or requires formal approval before production. This includes large displays, exhibits, retail environments, or marketing installations where color accuracy is closely reviewed.

A sample allows you to evaluate PMS 7497 U on the actual substrate and under the intended lighting. This step helps confirm that the perceived color, coverage, and finish meet expectations before committing to a full production run.

PMS 7497 U is a saturated Pantone color, and like many vivid hues, it may require additional coats to achieve uniform coverage and hide. Coverage can vary depending on the substrate color, surface texture, and application method.

For best results, plan for proper surface preparation and evaluate coverage during sampling. Confirming hide early helps avoid uneven appearance on finished signage or display components.

Shipping and transit time for PMS 7497 U paint depend on your location, the selected paint format, and the shipping method chosen at checkout. Custom matched Pantone orders require production time before shipment.

If PMS 7497 U is needed for a scheduled install, exhibit, or event, it is best to plan ahead and allow buffer time for both production and transit. Ordering early helps reduce risk when deadlines are fixed.

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 7497 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.
