Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

13 6 4 12

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 #d8eaef is computed, not guessed. 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 value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
