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 4, 5, 0, 7.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #e4e1ed on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

4 5 0 7

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

8 9 4 13

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

Here is how the numbers for #e4e1ed are worked out. 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 value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
