FAQ

Still have questions?

What is the CMYK equivalent of an RGB color?

RGB values (red, green, blue in 0-255) are converted to CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key/black) with the standard subtractive-color formula: K = 1 − max(R, G, B), then C, M and Y are derived from how far each channel is from that black level. For example, RGB(124, 58, 237) = cmyk(48%, 76%, 0%, 7%). This tool does the math automatically.

How do I input RGB values into this converter?

Enter your RGB values in any common format: rgb(255,128,64), 255, 128, 64, or 255 128 64. The tool is forgiving with spacing and punctuation. You can also use the color picker.

Does this tool store or upload my colors?

No. Every conversion happens locally in your browser. Nothing you type or pick is sent to a server.

Can I convert CMYK back to RGB?

Yes - use the CMYK to RGB or CMYK to HEX converters for the reverse direction, or any of the other format converters linked below.

Is this CMYK value accurate for print?

This converter uses the standard on-screen RGB-to-CMYK formula, which is a solid approximation for design and prototyping. For professional printing, check the result against your printer's ICC color profile - real ink and paper can shift the final color.

Is there a limit on how many colors I can convert?

No. Convert as many colors as you like, for free, with no account required.
