The CMYK color model (also known as process color, or four color) is a subtractive color model, based on the CMY color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. The abbreviation CMYK refers to the four ink plates used: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (most often black).
The CMYK coordinates describe the amounts of each of cyan, magenta, yellow and key pigments (such as inks) which are mixed subtractively in order to create a particular color. In Wikipedia, the coordinates are presented as four numbers separated by commas, as in this example for the color orange:

Other parameters bgcolor (Optional) Color in hex format used for background behind the name of the color. Defaults to value specified by the hex parameter. caption
A hex triplet is a six-digit (or eight-digit), three-byte (or four-byte) hexadecimal number used in HTML, CSS, SVG, and other computing applications to represent colors. The bytes represent the red, green, and blue components of the color.
A color wheel is a tool that provides a visual representation of the relationships between all possible hues. The primary colors are arranged around a circle at equal (120 degree) intervals.
The HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space values, also known as HSB (hue, saturation, brightness), and the hex triplets (for HTML web colors) are also given in the following table. Some environments (like Microsoft Excel ) reverse the order of bytes in hex color values (i.e. to "BGR").
It was designed to encompass most of the colors achievable on CMYK color printers, but by using RGB primary chromaticities on a device such as the computer display. The Adobe RGB color space encompasses roughly 50% of the visible colors specified by the Lab color space, improving upon the gamut of the sRGB color space primarily in cyan-greens.
This CMYK results in a Hex code of #62C6F2 . However, the university has chosen the hex value of #4B9CD3 as their web safe Carolina Blue due to contrast issues and Section 508 web requirements. [1] None of the colors match the selected Pantone 542 which would be a hex value of #6699C2 , RGB of (102,153,194), and a CMYK value of 47,21,0,24.
