Bug Description

Hi.

Try to fill a shape with the CMYK-Colors 99, 0, 69, 0 and compare the color with what it should look like: http://rgb.to/pantone/3278-c
The difference is far more then it should be. With the CMYK-Values above I get a "grass green" color.

I am using Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819

@Manuel, I'm not a color expert, but since the CMYK tab gives an RGB to CMYK approximation, I guess it can't reflect the exact Pantone color (unless you apply the appropriate color profile).
Using an RGB value in the rgb.to website instead of a Pantone color gives a correct CMJK value that compares correctly with what you can see in Inkscape (try http://rgb.to/rgb/0,155,119).

Could a color expert confirm?
