Indigo in print

The saturation is high, which is where rgb and cmyk drift apart, so a printed proof is worth it. The cmyk build is 57, 90, 0, 53.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #330c77 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

57 90 0 53

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

56 87 4 59

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 #330c77 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. The Pantone figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
