Pantone™ PMS 2322 U

PMS 2322 U is a Pantone PMS color, which is a licensed color communication standard rather than a paint formula. Licensed reproduction matters because it ensures the color is matched to the official Pantone reference, not approximated or interpreted.

MyPerfectColor is authorized to reproduce Pantone PMS colors, which helps reduce risk when PMS 2322 U is being used for brand-facing displays, signage, or marketing environments where visual accuracy is expected.

The finish you choose can change how PMS 2322 U is perceived. Matte finishes reduce glare and can look more controlled under strong lighting, but they may slightly mute saturation.

Glossier finishes tend to increase visual punch and saturation, especially at a distance, but can introduce reflections depending on lighting and viewing angle. For high-visibility brand elements, it is often best to evaluate a sample of PMS 2322 U in the intended finish under the actual lighting conditions.

Yes. PMS 2322 U is commonly used in prototypes and concept models where visual brand alignment is the primary goal. The Pantone reference provides a clear color target that can be shared across teams and vendors.

For prototype workflows, consider ordering PMS 2322 U in a format that matches how the part will be evaluated, such as spray paint for even coverage on forms or panels. Reviewing a physical sample before final sign-off is recommended, especially if multiple materials are involved.

When applying PMS 2322 U to metal, surface preparation is important. Existing coatings, including powder coat, should be clean and properly scuffed so the new coating adheres evenly.

The color appearance of PMS 2322 U can vary based on the underlying substrate and the gloss level of the surface. For metal parts or previously coated components, evaluating a sprayed sample is strongly recommended to confirm coverage, hide, and final appearance before committing to production.

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 2322 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 2322 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.
