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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

24 4 60 19

The stock absorbs ink and gains dot, so it needs a heavier build and reads a touch softer.

How we calculate these values

Here is how the numbers for #adde56 are worked out. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. 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 value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
