Sea green in print

The cmyk build is well inside gamut, so what you see on screen is close to what prints. The cmyk build is 84, 0, 52, 42.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #189447 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C
84 0 52 42
Ink sits on the surface, so colors stay bright and close to screen.
Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U
81 4 52 48
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

Every value on this page for #189447 is computed, not guessed. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. 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.
