Pantone™ PMS 2140 U

Pantone PMS 2140 U is a standardized color reference used when brand standards call out a specific Pantone target rather than a paint formula. In marketing, display fabrication, and experiential builds, PMS 2140 U helps different vendors aim for the same visual color when producing signage, exhibits, or branded components. The Pantone code defines the color intent, but the final appearance can still vary based on material, finish, and lighting, so approvals are usually based on visual samples rather than the code alone.

The Safety Data Sheet is not specific to Pantone PMS 2140 U itself. SDS documents are tied to the paint product and chemistry, such as spray paint, epoxy, or urethane, not the color code. After you select the product format for PMS 2140 U, you can find the corresponding SDS in the SDS library for that product type. Always review the SDS for the exact product you plan to use.

The "U" in Pantone PMS 2140 U indicates that the color reference comes from the Pantone Uncoated series. Pantone PMS colors can change appearance between coated, uncoated, or other series, even when the base number is the same. When ordering paint, confirm that PMS 2140 U is the exact reference specified in your brand guidelines or source documents so the visual target matches expectations.

When applying PMS 2140 U across large or highly visible areas, plan for consistent coverage and application technique. Use the same substrate preparation, primer choice, and number of coats across all sections to reduce patchiness. Highly saturated Pantone colors can require additional coats to achieve uniform hide, and sheen differences can change how the color reads. For critical brand installations, producing and approving a larger sample panel before full application can reduce risk.

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 2140 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 2140 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.
