Orchid in print

It sits in a comfortable part of the gamut and reproduces reliably on press. The cmyk build is 0, 60, 5, 9.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #e75cdc on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

0 60 5 9

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

4 59 9 15

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 #e75cdc is computed, not guessed. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. 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.
