PMS 7498 U is part of the Pantone PMS collection and is commonly specified as a brand and identity color rather than a decorative choice. It presents a subdued, earthy green character with a serious, utilitarian vibe that reads controlled, natural, and low-reflective in most environments.

The color has a very low light reflectance value of 8.5, placing it firmly in the dark color range. It reads as a cool-leaning green with a slight yellow influence, and its moderate-to-low saturation gives it a muted, restrained appearance rather than a vivid one.

The undertone suggests olive and mineral qualities, contributing to its grounded visual weight. This subdued character helps the color maintain stability across finishes but can reduce perceived detail in low-light conditions.

PMS 7498 U works well in branding contexts where a darker green is needed without high chroma or brightness, such as background fields or structural brand elements. Because of its low LRV, it can appear heavier in low light, so lighting, finish choice, and careful surface preparation can help maintain clarity and uniform depth.

Similar colors:

Pantone 7497 U: slightly lighter and more open, with less visual density.
Pantone 370 U: darker and more neutral, with a flatter olive appearance.
Pantone 371 U: marginally lighter with a softer, more subdued green tone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 7498 U

What durability should I expect from PMS 7498 U when ordered as spray paint?

PMS 7498 U spray paint is matched for visual brand accuracy, not as a guaranteed performance system. Durability depends on surface preparation, the paint type you select, and the exposure environment.

For indoor displays and short-term installations, standard spray options are typically sufficient. For higher handling, outdoor exposure, or longer display cycles, select a paint type and optional clear coat that align with those conditions. The Pantone code defines the color target only; it does not define durability, adhesion, or lifespan.

If PMS 7498 U is specified but I need very close matching on an existing object, what is the correct approach?

Pantone PMS 7498 U is intended as a brand color reference, not as a substrate-specific match standard. If you need extremely close visual alignment to an existing painted or manufactured object, the most reliable path is to submit a physical sample for custom matching.

This allows the match to account for material, texture, and existing finish variables that a Pantone reference cannot capture. Pantone-based orders are best suited for new, brand-facing components where the PMS color itself is the approval target.

Does PMS 7498 U require special consideration for coverage and hide?

Yes. PMS 7498 U is a saturated green, and colors in this range often have lower hide than neutral tones. Achieving a uniform appearance may require additional coats compared to grays or earth tones.

Using a suitable primer and applying even, consistent coats helps improve coverage. Finish choice can also affect perceived uniformity, so evaluate coverage under the lighting conditions where the piece will be viewed.

How do I correctly order PMS 7498 U paint on MyPerfectColor?

Start by confirming that PMS 7498 U is the correct Pantone reference for your project. Then select the paint format and type that fit your application conditions, followed by sheen and quantity.

Review exposure, handling, and coverage needs before finalizing your order. If approval or appearance is critical, consider ordering a sample first to evaluate color and finish on your actual substrate.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 7498 U?

Can I use the Pantone PMS 7498 U for touch up?

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.
