The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #f6f2ef on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

0 2 3 4

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

4 6 7 10

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

How we calculate these values

Every value on this page for #f6f2ef 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.
