Notes:


It is not possible to make the QR code a specific CMYK color value however instead of a named html color, you can use the Hex representation of the color instead:


100/81/13/1 is equivalent to  #0030DC


so

qrforecolor=darkblue qrbackcolor=white

would be

qrforecolor=#0030DC qrbackcolor=#000000


They are several online sites that do the conversion from CMYK to Hex. example: https://www.ginifab.com/feeds/pms/cmyk_to_rgb.php
