About CMYK

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used primarily in the printing industry. By mixing these four inks, a variety of colors can be created.

Printing Tip: Total ink coverage (sum of all CMYK values) should typically be kept below 300% to avoid printing issues.

About CMYK to RGB Conversion

CMYK and RGB are two different color models used for printing and digital display, respectively. When converting from CMYK to RGB, keep in mind:

  • CMYK is a subtractive color model used for printing, creating colors by absorbing light.
  • RGB is an additive color model used for digital displays, creating colors by emitting light.
  • Due to gamut differences, some CMYK colors may not be precisely representable in RGB, and vice versa.
  • The converted RGB color may appear differently on screen compared to how it would look when printed.

Conversion Formula

The conversion from CMYK to RGB uses the following formulas:

R = 255 × (1 - C/100) × (1 - K/100)
G = 255 × (1 - M/100) × (1 - K/100)
B = 255 × (1 - Y/100) × (1 - K/100)

This converter uses the above formulas to transform CMYK values into RGB values, helping designers and print professionals bridge the gap between digital and print media.
