Any color you can name, we can paint.
Beyond our standard finishes lies the full Pantone® Solid Coated library. Send us one code, and we hand-spray your fixture to that exact shade — no ambiguity, no "sort of sage."
Color by number, never by adjective.
"Warm brass," "soft sage," "dusty rose" — every screen and every eye reads those words differently. A Pantone number reads only one way, so what arrives is what you chose, not our guess at what you meant.
The color number
Identifies one exact shade in the Pantone library. This is the only detail we truly need from you.
"Coated" — the standard
The suffix marks the color as referenced on coated stock, the standard our lacquer is matched against. Please pull codes from the Solid Coated library.
What happens next
Our finishing team formulates to the physical reference chip, sprays a test panel, photographs it beside the chip, and sends it for your approval.
A few minutes on Pantone Connect is all it takes.
Pantone Connect is Pantone's official, free color browser. No account is needed — just the code that appears when you hover a swatch.
Open Pantone Connect
Visit pantonecn.com/pantone-connect — desktop makes it easiest to compare shades side by side.
Select "Solid Coated"
In the library dropdown, choose PANTONE® Solid Coated — the standard our lacquer finishes are matched against.
Hover for the code
Browse or search the grid. Hovering any swatch reveals its code — for example PANTONE 7591 C. That code is your color's full name.
Send it to us
Drop the code into the request panel below, along with the fixture you have in mind.
No monitor renders color perfectly. That's why we photograph the sprayed test panel next to the physical Pantone chip before your fixture goes into the paint booth — nothing is sprayed until you've approved the real thing.
Hover any swatch in the library — the exact code appears instantly, no guesswork.
Shades our clients return to most.
The library holds over 2,300 colors — here's where most commissions for sculptural and architectural lighting begin. Click any card to carry its code down to the request panel.
The universal favorite among our US clients — a deep matte black that reads modern and industrial, and pairs effortlessly with almost any interior style.
On-screen colors are approximate renderings of the Pantone references — final matching is always confirmed against the physical chip.
One color, three ways to wear it.
The Pantone code fixes the hue. The sheen decides how that hue behaves in the room. Choose one when you send your code.
A velvety, near-zero-gloss surface that absorbs light rather than bouncing it. Reads architectural and contemporary — the most forgiving of dust and fingerprints.
Six stages — your color is approved before it's sprayed.
Send the code
Pantone number, fixture link, and sheen preference, via the panel below or email.
Quote & confirm
We reply with a custom-color quote and timeline for your specific piece. You confirm to proceed.

Lacquer is formulated against the physical Pantone Solid Coated reference chip.
Panel approval
A sprayed test panel is photographed beside the chip and sent to you. Nothing proceeds without your sign-off.
Spray & cure
Primer, color coats, and your chosen sheen are applied and fully cured before assembly.
QC & ship
Final inspection under daylight-balanced lamps, then packed with a spare touch-up reference card.
Before commissioning a custom color.
- 01
Painted surfaces only. Pantone color applies to metal bodies, canopies, arms, and frames. Natural materials — alabaster, marble, glass, rattan, rice paper, fabric shades — remain in their natural state and cannot be painted.
- 02
Made to order. Custom-color fixtures are built specifically for you and fall outside the standard change-of-mind return policy. Your approval of the test panel photo is the commitment point.
- 03
Use the Solid Coated ("C") library. Codes from other Pantone libraries (TPG/TPX, U, Metallics) can often be cross-matched — confirm with us first.
- 04
Slight batch variance is normal. Hand-sprayed lacquer matched to a physical standard may vary fractionally between production runs, within commercial color-matching tolerance.
Custom Color Request
Three fields. One reply, within 24 hours.
Paste your Pantone code, tell us which fixture you'd like it on, and add anything we should know — quantity, sheen, project deadline context. The specialist who reads your request is the one who will carry your commission through to the paint booth.
