Violet in print

The cmyk build is well inside gamut, so what you see on screen is close to what prints. The cmyk build is 0, 46, 9, 7.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #ec7fd7 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C
0 46 9 7
Ink sits on the surface, so colors stay bright and close to screen.
Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U
4 46 12 13
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 #ec7fd7 is computed, not guessed. The rgb, hsl, hsv, cie-lab and xyz values follow the standard conversions from the sRGB color space. 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 figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
