Ivory in print

At this lightness it prints as a faint wash, best for backgrounds rather than fine type. The cmyk build is 2, 0, 5, 4.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #eff4e7 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

2 0 5 4

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

6 4 9 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

Here is how the numbers for #eff4e7 are worked out. Rgb, hsl, hsv, lab and xyz are derived through the usual sRGB conversion formulas. 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 figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
