Indigo in print

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #3f0d64 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

37 87 0 61

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

38 84 4 67

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

Every value on this page for #3f0d64 is computed, not guessed. 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. The Pantone value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
