Dodger blue in print

It converts to cmyk cleanly and holds its character from screen to paper. The cmyk build is 66, 37, 0, 11.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #4e8fe4 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

66 37 0 11

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

65 38 4 17

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

The figures for #4e8fe4 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. 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. The Pantone value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
