Pantone™ PMS 2245 U

Pantone PMS 2245 U is a visual color standard, not a finish or durability specification. For pop-ups and retail builds, confirm the color under the actual lighting where it will be installed, since retail lighting can shift how saturation and brightness are perceived.

Before committing to a full run, order a physical sample in PMS 2245 U and review it on the intended surface. This helps catch issues related to lighting, scale, and viewing distance that are not obvious from a swatch or screen preview.

The choice between matte and gloss can change how PMS 2245 U is perceived. Gloss finishes tend to increase visual punch and saturation but can introduce glare under strong lighting. Matte finishes reduce reflections but may make the color appear slightly softer.

Evaluate samples of PMS 2245 U in the expected lighting and from the typical viewing distance. This is the most reliable way to decide which finish best supports your brand presentation.

Pantone PMS 2245 U is a color reference, but materials absorb and reflect color differently. Surface texture, porosity, and reflectivity can all change how the color appears once applied.

If your project uses multiple materials, evaluate PMS 2245 U on each actual substrate rather than relying on a single sample. This step is especially important for brand-facing installations where consistency across components matters.

More saturated Pantone colors like PMS 2245 U may have lower hide, meaning the underlying surface can influence the final appearance. In some cases, additional coats are needed to achieve uniform color.

Using an appropriate undercoat and testing coverage with a sample can reduce surprises on larger builds. This allows you to confirm how many coats are needed and helps ensure a consistent, brand-accurate result.

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 2245 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 2245 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.
