The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #e2e8e5 on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

3 0 1 9

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

7 4 5 15

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

How we calculate these values

Here is how the numbers for #e2e8e5 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.
