PMS 7738 U is a Pantone PMS green positioned in the darker, cooler range of the spectrum, conveying a grounded, confident, and authoritative visual tone. It reads as bold, dense, and controlled, with a professional character suited to brand-driven applications.
The color presents as a dark green with an LRV of 30.41 and carries a cool green tendency rather than a warm cast. It shows high saturation with a subtle yellow-green undertone that maintains depth without appearing blue-heavy.
PMS 7738 U works well where a strong green brand color needs visual weight and consistency across components such as displays, signage, or fabricated elements. Its saturation may require additional coats for uniform coverage, and finish and lighting conditions can noticeably influence perceived depth.
Similar colors:
PMS 7738 C: slightly cleaner and more controlled, with a smoother visual finish.
PMS 7737 U: darker and heavier, with reduced openness and less brightness.
PMS 7740 U: darker and more muted, with a more subdued green presence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 7738 U
Why can PMS 7738 U look different on metal, plastic, and wood?
PMS 7738 U is a Pantone reference color, not a material-specific formula. When it is matched into paint, the final appearance depends heavily on the substrate. Metal, plastic, and wood differ in absorption, surface texture, and reflectivity, all of which can shift how saturated or dark PMS 7738 U appears.
For brand-facing applications, it is best to evaluate PMS 7738 U on the actual material used in the final build. This is especially important when multiple materials are used side by side and visual consistency matters.
Can PMS 7738 U matched paint be used on plastics or low-surface-energy materials?
PMS 7738 U matched paint can be applied to plastics, but plastics vary widely. Some plastics have low surface energy and may not allow proper adhesion without a suitable primer or surface preparation.
Because Pantone PMS colors are evaluated visually, testing PMS 7738 U on the exact plastic used in production is strongly recommended. This helps confirm both adhesion and final color appearance before committing to a full run.
What application approach works best for PMS 7738 U spray paint?
For PMS 7738 U spray paint, multiple light coats generally produce better visual results than one heavy coat. Thin coats help maintain color uniformity and reduce the risk of uneven saturation.
Allow appropriate flash time between coats so solvents can escape before the next pass. This approach is especially important for saturated Pantone colors like PMS 7738 U, where coverage and consistency are critical for brand-facing work.
How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Pantone PMS 7738 U?

Can I use the Pantone PMS 7738 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.

How do I convert PMS 7738 U to a different color from another paint company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 7738 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.
