From preparing print designs to color proofing and cross-media projects, our tool delivers precise color space conversion with professional-grade accuracy.
The RGB to CMYK conversion process involves several mathematical steps to ensure accurate color transformation:
// Step 1: Normalize RGB values (0-255) to range [0,1]
R' = R/255, G' = G/255, B' = B/255
// Step 2: Calculate Key (Black) component
K = 1 - max(R', G', B')
// Step 3: Calculate CMY values
If K = 1 (black):
C = M = Y = 0
Else:
C = (1 - R' - K) / (1 - K)
M = (1 - G' - K) / (1 - K)
Y = (1 - B' - K) / (1 - K)
// Step 4: Convert to percentages
C = C × 100%
M = M × 100%
Y = Y × 100%
K = K × 100%
function rgbToCmyk(r, g, b) {
// Normalize RGB values
const red = r / 255;
const green = g / 255;
const blue = b / 255;
// Calculate Key (Black)
const k = 1 - Math.max(red, green, blue);
// Handle pure black case
if (k === 1) {
return { c: 0, m: 0, y: 0, k: 100 };
}
// Calculate CMY values
const c = (1 - red - k) / (1 - k);
const m = (1 - green - k) / (1 - k);
const y = (1 - blue - k) / (1 - k);
// Convert to percentages
return {
c: Math.round(c * 100),
m: Math.round(m * 100),
y: Math.round(y * 100),
k: Math.round(k * 100)
};
