Indigo 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 20, 88, 0, 57.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #570d6d on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

20 88 0 57

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

22 85 4 63

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 #570d6d is computed, not guessed. 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.
