Honeydew 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 5, 0, 5, 3.

The same color needs a different cmyk build depending on the paper. Here is #ebf7eb on both.

Coated stockgloss or silk, C

5 0 5 3

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

Uncoated stocknatural or matte, U

9 4 9 9

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 #ebf7eb are worked out. 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 value is the closest reference by perceptual color distance and should be treated as a starting point, not a guaranteed match.
