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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

4 76 90 61

How we calculate these values

The figures for #721908 come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. 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.
