Dark violet 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 32, 92, 0, 26.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #800fbc on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

32 92 0 26

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

33 89 4 32

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

Here is how the numbers for #800fbc 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. The Pantone figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
