Can You Tint My Paint Using A Pantone Reference?Updated 6 months ago

Although we can successfully match the majority of Pantone colours, achieving an accurate match may be more straightforward for some hues than others.

Several factors contribute to this variation. Colour perception can be affected by lighting conditions and viewing angles when going from a digital format to analogue paint. For instance, certain lighting conditions can make reds appear orange, and brighter blues can take on a cyan or white tinge when viewed from specific angles.

Additionally, paint manufacturing processes and limitations can alter certain colours' final appearance. Compensating for these variations can be challenging, which is why we implement various precautionary measures to ensure that the paint colours we produce align as closely as possible with Pantone's original colours.

If you possess a Pantone code, you can contact our customer service team at [email protected] to inquire about matching your specific shade. We always recommend getting a sample pot to test the recommended shade on your intended wall or surface for the most accurate result.
