Lime green in print

It converts to cmyk cleanly and holds its character from screen to paper. The cmyk build is 83, 0, 85, 28.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #20b71b on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

83 0 85 28

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

80 4 82 34

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 #20b71b are worked out. 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.
