Light goldenrod yellow in print

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #edf5ce on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

3 0 16 4

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

7 4 19 10

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 #edf5ce come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. 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. For Pantone we return the nearest reference by perceptual distance, which gets you close but is not a substitute for a physical swatch book.
