Honeydew 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 9, 0, 14, 5.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #dcf2cf on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

9 0 14 5

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

12 4 17 11

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

Here is how the numbers for #dcf2cf are worked out. The rgb, hsl, hsv, cie-lab and xyz values follow the standard conversions from the sRGB color space. 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.
