Zero is ideal black and 100 is ideal white. This value suggests a very light color on an sRGB display.

ABOUT THIS REFERENCE
Pantone 937 C on screen.
Pantone 937 C is shown here as the sRGB simulation #EFF4A4. The suffix C identifies the coated graphics reference. Its nearest generic process conversion is C2 M0 Y33 K4.
These values help with mockups, UI handoff, and color discovery. They do not reproduce the spectral behavior of a physical spot ink, and the CMYK recipe is not an official separation.
Before production: verify the color in a current physical Pantone publication, use licensed digital data where required, and approve a proof on the intended material.
READING THE COLOR
Very light, moderately muted,
and digitally approximate.
The derived CIELAB coordinates put Pantone 937 C at L* 94.2, a* -13.68, and b* 38.06. In plain language, this screen simulation is very light, moderately muted, and warmer, with a yellow direction. Its calculated chroma is approximately 40. These descriptions help compare the digital reference with neighboring colors; they are not names assigned by Pantone.
A negative value indicates a green direction.
A positive value indicates a yellow direction.
HEX, RGB, CMYK, and LAB serve different jobs
#EFF4A4 is the compact HEX form of the RGB values 239, 244, 164. Both describe the same sRGB screen simulation and are appropriate for web comps, interface tokens, presentations, and other emitted-light previews. They do not encode the spectral data or ink formulation of a physical Pantone standard.
The displayed CMYK value—C2 M0 Y33 K4—is calculated from that sRGB simulation without an ICC output profile. Real process separations depend on press condition, paper, ink, black generation, and total ink limit. The LAB value is derived from sRGB under standard assumptions and is useful for comparisons inside this site; do not substitute it for licensed measured data when a specification requires official values.
How to use Pantone 937 C in a project
- Keep the full reference.Write Pantone 937 C, including the C suffix, in the brief and artwork notes.
- Use #EFF4A4 for previews.Apply the HEX or RGB simulation when a browser or screen mockup needs an approximate visual.
- Decide spot or process.Ask whether the job will use a dedicated spot ink or reproduce the appearance through process inks.
- Set the production condition.Confirm the stock, coating, print method, color profile, and viewing light with the supplier.
- Approve physical output.Compare a current official standard and an appropriate proof or production sample before sign-off.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HEX approximation for Pantone 937 C?
The independent sRGB simulation used on this page is #EFF4A4. It is intended for screen previews and is not an official Pantone production specification.
What RGB values approximate Pantone 937 C?
This reference uses RGB 239, 244, 164 in the sRGB color space.
Can I print Pantone 937 C with CMYK 2, 0, 33, 4?
Those CMYK percentages are a generic, profile-free estimate derived from the screen value. Ask the printer for the correct separation or specify the verified spot ink.
What does the C suffix mean?
C identifies the coated paper version in the Pantone graphics system. Keep the suffix when communicating the reference.
