About CMYK and Hexadecimal Colors
CMYK Color Model
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used in color printing. It refers to the four ink colors used in color printing:
- Cyan (C) - Absorbs red light
- Magenta (M) - Absorbs green light
- Yellow (Y) - Absorbs blue light
- Key/Black (K) - Creates true black and darker shades
CMYK values are represented as percentages from 0% to 100%. Lower values produce lighter colors, while higher values produce darker colors.
Hexadecimal Color Codes
Hexadecimal (Hex) color codes are used in web design and digital projects to represent RGB colors. A hex code consists of a pound sign (#) followed by six characters:
#RRGGBB
Where:
- RR = Red value (00-FF in hexadecimal)
- GG = Green value (00-FF in hexadecimal)
- BB = Blue value (00-FF in hexadecimal)
Hex colors are based on the RGB color model, which adds light to create colors (unlike CMYK, which subtracts light).
About the Conversion Process
Converting from CMYK to Hexadecimal requires two steps:
- CMYK to RGB Conversion:
First, CMYK values are converted to RGB using these 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) - RGB to Hexadecimal Conversion:
Then, each RGB component is converted to a two-digit hexadecimal value and combined to form the hex color code.
