Ivory 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 1, 0, 5, 4.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #f2f4e9 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

1 0 5 4

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

5 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

The figures for #f2f4e9 come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. We convert from sRGB to each space with the standard formulas, so the codes match what design tools show. 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. The Pantone figure is the nearest match in our reference set by perceptual distance and it is an approximation, not an exact spot color.
