Pantone™ PMS 2145 U

PMS 2145 U is a Pantone PMS reference used to communicate a target color, not a paint formula. When ordering a PMS 2145 U match, the goal is visual alignment to the Pantone standard under typical viewing conditions. Highly saturated Pantone colors can be challenging to reproduce exactly across different paint systems, substrates, and finishes.

MyPerfectColor focuses on producing a close, visually accurate match suitable for brand-facing applications like displays, signage, and prototypes. Small visual differences can still occur depending on sheen, material, and lighting, so plan approvals around real-world viewing rather than expecting a perfect numeric match.

Pantone PMS colors like PMS 2145 U are intended for brand color reproduction, not exact part-to-part matching. If your goal is to match an existing painted surface as closely as possible, the most reliable approach is to send a physical sample for color matching.

Providing the actual part allows the match to account for the original substrate, finish, and real-world appearance. This is especially important when the existing color has aged, was applied with a specific coating system, or is viewed under fixed lighting.

The appearance of PMS 2145 U can shift noticeably under different light sources. Daylight, LED, fluorescent, and warm interior lighting each interact differently with saturated colors, which can change how bright or deep the color appears.

Always evaluate PMS 2145 U under the lighting where it will be used or displayed. Reviewing a sample in the actual environment helps avoid surprises during installation or brand approval.

Choosing the correct paint type for PMS 2145 U depends on the substrate, exposure conditions, and desired finish. Different paint systems can change how the color looks, including its depth, sheen, and coverage.

If you are unsure which format or coating is appropriate, contact MyPerfectColor with details about where and how the color will be used. This allows the recommendation to focus on visual accuracy, durability needs, and ordering the correct product the first time.

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 2145 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 2145 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.
