Lavender in print

In print it lays down as a whisper of ink, so keep it off small text where it can vanish. The cmyk build is 9, 16, 0, 4.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #ddccf4 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

9 16 0 4

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

12 19 4 10

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

This color converts to cmyk comfortably and should hold on press.

How we calculate these values

Every value on this page for #ddccf4 is computed, not guessed. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. The coated and uncoated cmyk builds differ because uncoated stock absorbs more ink and gains dot, so the same color needs a heavier, slightly duller build on press. For Pantone we return the nearest reference by perceptual distance, which gets you close but is not a substitute for a physical swatch book.
