Honeydew in print

The cmyk build is well inside gamut, so what you see on screen is close to what prints. The cmyk build is 14, 0, 7, 15.

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

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

14 0 7 15

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

17 4 10 21

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

The figures for #bbdaca come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. The rgb, hsl, hsv, cie-lab and xyz values follow the standard conversions from the sRGB color space. 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. For Pantone we return the nearest reference by perceptual distance, which gets you close but is not a substitute for a physical swatch book.
