What brand and colour matches pms 873c

[gabagoo]

I have 3 pantone books and none of them go up as far as 873. I know it is a gold but if anyone out there has the match, which vinyl colour from which MFG would you reccommend.

It can be a 3ml as they are indoor banners but I dont mind getting 2 ml either.
Thanks

That's going to be a tough one. It's almost a blend between copper and gold. I don't think you'll match it with any vinyl
In the Gerber Sprectratone swatch book it's almost a gold/pink combo.

Yeah I think you'd have to have a manufacturer do a custom vinyl dye to hit that very closely.

Or, you could find someone with a Roland or Mimaki running silver and have them try to print it.

I will print and cut then as i already bought banner material for the background colour (289)

According to Gerber ColorID, a Tan foil on Spectrashade foil will give you Pantone 873 C.

Gerber Quantum 4000 Gold is *close* too (can you even buy that anymore) ?

Avery SC 900-930-M is pretty close, it's labeled as a bronze, but it's the closest in my books

After much consideration I say SCREW IT!! There getting gold, plain old 3ml gold.
Since when did everyone get so picky.

That's the spirit Barry!

3M Satin Gold (180C-131, 7725-131, 7125-131) is PMS 872C
close enough, imho.
