How to use PMS 7477 C in production
This is a Pantone Coated reference - mix the spec'd ink to PMS 7477 for any production method that uses pre-mixed spot color (screen print on apparel, embroidery thread match, pad print, foil stamping, packaging spot color). For four-color process printing (CMYK on coated paper, brochures, business cards, full-color UV print on hard-goods), the conversion above is the closest CMYK approximation - confirm the proof against an official PANTONE Color Bridge Coated guide before approving production.

Can I print PMS 7477 as a CMYK build?
You can, but the four-color process can only approximate a Pantone spot color. Roughly 30% of the Pantone solid library does not convert cleanly to CMYK. For brand-critical work, screen print or pad print the spot ink directly; for collateral on coated paper, the CMYK above is the closest equivalent.
What is the difference between PMS 7477 C and PMS 7477 U?
The "C" suffix means coated (ink on glossy paper); "U" means uncoated (ink on matte paper). The same Pantone number can look meaningfully different across the two because uncoated paper absorbs more ink. Confirm with your printer which guide they are matching to.
