Indigo in print

It is saturated enough that the cmyk build can shift slightly from screen to press, so proof it. The cmyk build is 21, 100, 0, 51.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #63007e on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

21 100 0 51

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

23 96 4 57

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

Here is how the numbers for #63007e 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. For Pantone we return the nearest reference by perceptual distance, which gets you close but is not a substitute for a physical swatch book.
