Pale turquoise in print

It sits in a comfortable part of the gamut and reproduces reliably on press. The cmyk build is 25, 0, 8, 4.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #b6f4e0 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C
25 0 8 4
Ink sits on the surface, so colors stay bright and close to screen.
Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U
27 4 11 10
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

Every value on this page for #b6f4e0 is computed, not guessed. 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 value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
