The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #02476e on both.

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

How we calculate these values

Every value on this page for #02476e is computed, not guessed. The rgb, hsl, hsv, cie-lab and xyz values follow the standard conversions from the sRGB color space. The uncoated cmyk build carries more ink than the coated one, which is what a printer would compensate for when the same color runs on a rougher stock. For Pantone we return the nearest reference by perceptual distance, which gets you close but is not a substitute for a physical swatch book.
