    Can anyone match Pantone 281 ( Blue)

    I can get close, but not close enough. Client already has signs in place which I need to match to.

    Rush job, as per usually so any suggestions appreciated.

    Tim.

    PMS 281 C is available in Avery 900- series.

    Hi Tim.

    Surely if there are already signs in place that you have to match exactly it doesn’t matter what the Pantone number is, and you are wasting your time trying to get a vinyl to that colour. After all, for all you know, the originals may not be a spot-on match either.

    My first move would be to get up a ladder with an armful of vinyl swatches and try to identify the material originally used.

    Hi John

    I have done that, I know I won’t get spot on but from the 5 manufacturer swatches I have I can’t match.

    Thanks Otto will look at that.
