Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

PMS 7646 U is a Pantone Matching System color identified as a dark, restrained red with a grounded, mature character. It conveys a calm, formal, traditional, and understated visual tone.

The color appears relatively dark with an LRV of 28.87 and leans warm without strong orange influence. It has moderate saturation and a subtle brown undertone that softens its red character and reduces brightness.

PMS 7646 U works well in brand-facing applications where a composed, established look is required. Because of its darker value, careful surface preparation and consistent application can help reduce contrast or show-through, especially on lighter or uneven substrates.

Similar colors:

PMS 7638 U: lighter and more open, with less depth and visual weight.
PMS 7647 U: darker and more subdued, with increased shadowing.
PMS 209 U: brighter and more saturated, with stronger red intensity.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 7646 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.
