Blue violet in print

The cmyk build is well inside gamut, so what you see on screen is close to what prints. The cmyk build is 45, 79, 0, 13.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #7a2edf on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

45 79 0 13

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

45 77 4 19

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

The figures for #7a2edf come from standard color math, shown so you can check them. The rgb, hsl, hsv, cie-lab and xyz values follow the standard conversions from the sRGB color space. 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.
