23 0 69 11
Ink sits on the surface, so colors stay bright and close to screen.
Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U
25 4 67 17

How we calculate these values

Every value on this page for #ade245 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.
