Navy 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 62, 100, 0, 56.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #2a006f on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

62 100 0 56

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

61 96 4 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

The figures for #2a006f come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. We convert from sRGB to each space with the standard formulas, so the codes match what design tools show. 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. For Pantone we return the nearest reference by perceptual distance, which gets you close but is not a substitute for a physical swatch book.
