Dark cyan in print

It is saturated enough that the cmyk build can shift slightly from screen to press, so proof it. The cmyk build is 97, 10, 0, 39.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #058c9b on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

97 10 0 39

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

93 13 4 45

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

This color is saturated enough to sit near the edge of cmyk gamut, so expect a small drop in punch on paper and proof it before a long run.

How we calculate these values

Here is how the numbers for #058c9b are worked out. We convert from sRGB to each space with the standard formulas, so the codes match what design tools show. 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.
