RGB to CMYK Converter
Instantly convert RGB color values to CMYK and vice versa.
Conversion Formula:
RGB to CMYK:
C = (1 - R/255 - K) / (1 - K)
M = (1 - G/255 - K) / (1 - K)
Y = (1 - B/255 - K) / (1 - K)
K = 1 - max(R/255, G/255, B/255)
CMYK to RGB:
R = 255 × (1-C) × (1-K)
G = 255 × (1-M) × (1-K)
B = 255 × (1-Y) × (1-K)

About
This RGB to CMYK converter allows you to easily convert colors from the RGB color space, which is commonly used in digital displays, to the CMYK color space, which is used in color printing. The conversion is performed automatically as you type, providing instant results.
RGB values are expressed as triplets of numbers ranging from 0 to 255, representing the intensities of red, green, and blue. CMYK values, on the other hand, are expressed as percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, and are used to achieve a full range of colors in printing.
Use this tool to ensure that your digital designs translate accurately into printed materials, maintaining color fidelity and consistency across different media.
