Pale turquoise in print

In print it lays down as a whisper of ink, so keep it off small text where it can vanish. The cmyk build is 25, 0, 6, 0.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #c0ffef on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

25 0 6 0

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

27 4 10 6

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 #c0ffef are worked out. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. The coated and uncoated cmyk builds differ because uncoated stock absorbs more ink and gains dot, so the same color needs a heavier, slightly duller build on press. The Pantone value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
