Dark green in print

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #046f12 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

96 0 84 56

Ink sits on the surface, so colors stay bright and close to screen.

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

92 4 81 62

The stock absorbs ink and gains dot, so it needs a heavier build and reads a touch softer.

This color converts to cmyk comfortably and should hold on press.

How we calculate these values

Every value on this page for #046f12 is computed, not guessed. The rgb, hsl, hsv, cie-lab and xyz values follow the standard conversions from the sRGB color space. Two cmyk builds are shown because coated and uncoated papers behave differently, uncoated soaks up ink and needs more of it to hit the same target. For Pantone we return the nearest reference by perceptual distance, which gets you close but is not a substitute for a physical swatch book.
