Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

4 20 15 7

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 #fcd1df come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. We convert from sRGB to each space with the standard formulas, so the codes match what design tools show. Two cmyk builds are shown because coated and uncoated papers behave differently, uncoated soaks up ink and needs more of it to hit the same target. The Pantone figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
