Honeydew in print

At this lightness it prints as a faint wash, best for backgrounds rather than fine type. The cmyk build is 12, 0, 15, 3.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #dbf8d3 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C
12 0 15 3
Ink sits on the surface, so colors stay bright and close to screen.
Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U
15 4 18 9
The stock absorbs ink and gains dot, so it needs a heavier build and reads a touch softer.

This color is saturated enough to sit near the edge of cmyk gamut, so expect a small drop in punch on paper and proof it before a long run.

How we calculate these values

Every value on this page for #dbf8d3 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.
