Hi,
I do not have a pantone color chart, and need to place an order for vinyl. I will be using 3m opaque colors. My customer gave me pantone codes of PMS 1545 BROWN, 122 YELOW, AND 185 RED. Can anyone tell me which colors match those pms colors? Thank you in advance!

In the 3M 7125/7175 series:
I would use Perfect Match Red 263 for PMS 185. (fairly close match)
The 1545 brown is pretty in between the 019 Deep Mahogany Brown and the 029 Russett brown, I would go with the the Deep Mahogany though since the Russett seems a little too red.
122 Yellow is a somewhat muted yellow. The 015 Bright Yellow is the only real option, though it is noticable more intense than that pantone is.

Really do recommend you get a PMS book though, hard to do business anymore without one.

On colours that can go one way or the other best to get samples and let your client pick....It seems to be if I go left the client goes right and I get it wrong.....Murphy has something to do with it.....

My plumber came to fix my sink, he had to borrow my wrench.

Seriously you don't have a pantone chart?
