Deep teal in print

A color this vivid sometimes sits just outside cmyk gamut, so expect a small dip in punch on paper. The cmyk build is 93, 0, 27, 58.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #086c4f on both.

93 0 27 58
Ink sits on the surface, so colors stay bright and close to screen.
Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

How we calculate these values

Every value on this page for #086c4f is computed, not guessed. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. The coated and uncoated cmyk builds differ because uncoated stock absorbs more ink and gains dot, so the same color needs a heavier, slightly duller build on press. The Pantone figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
