Pick a Pantone shade,
we'll paint it exactly.

Alongside our standard metal finishes, we offer the full Pantone® Solid Coated range as a hand-sprayed lacquer finish. Send us a code — we build your fixture to that exact chip.

A code means one thing.
A color name means six.

"Sage," "dusty rose," "warm charcoal" — every monitor, every paint bench, and every person reads those descriptions a little differently. A Pantone number doesn't leave room for that. It's the same physical chip in the official library, on our spray table, and printed on your quote.

Note

A note on screens.

No display renders color with perfect accuracy — the swatch on your screen is a helpful guide, not the final word. That's why we always photograph the sprayed test panel next to the actual Pantone chip and send it over before your fixture touches the paint booth. Nothing gets painted until you've seen the real thing.

A Starting Palette

A dozen shades our clients
reach for most often.

There are over 2,300 colors in the full library, but if you need a starting point, these are the references we're asked for most on lighting commissions. Tap a card to load its code into the request form.

Screen colors are approximations — final matching always happens against the physical chip.

The Sheen

Same color,
three different finishes.

The Pantone code sets the hue. The sheen you choose changes how that hue actually reads in a room. Pick one when you send us your code.

Matte

A soft, near-zero-shine surface that absorbs light instead of bouncing it back. Reads modern and architectural, and hides dust and fingerprints better than any other sheen. Our go-to for darker or more saturated colors.

Gloss Level
< 10%
Character
Soft, modern
Best For
Deep & muted tones

Satin · Eggshell

A subtle low-luster sheen that gives color some depth without turning the fixture into a mirror. This is the classic furniture-lacquer look — closest to what you'd see on painted millwork or cabinetry.

Gloss Level
25–40%
Character
Warm, classic
Best For
Most interiors

High Gloss

A deep wet-look finish, built up from several hand-leveled clear coats. Dramatic and reflective — pastels take on a candy-like brightness, and darker shades read like lacquered boxes.

A Few Things to Know Before Ordering

  • Paint goes on metal only. Pantone matching applies to metal bodies, canopies, arms, and frames. Natural materials — alabaster, marble, glass, rattan, fabric shades — stay as they are.
  • Built to order. Custom-color fixtures fall outside our standard change-of-mind return window. Approving the test panel photo is the point of commitment.
  • Please pull codes from Solid Coated ("C"). Codes from other Pantone libraries are often cross-matchable — just confirm with us first.
  • Small batch variance happens. Hand-sprayed lacquer can shift slightly between production runs, within normal color-matching tolerance.
