Light cyan 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 15, 0, 6, 0.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #d8feef on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

15 0 6 0

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

18 4 10 6

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

How we calculate these values

The figures for #d8feef come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. 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 figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
