The CMYK values displayed in this tool are calculated using basic, device-independent mathematical conversion formulas. These formulas represent the theoretical relationship between RGB (additive color) and CMYK (subtractive color) models.
Professional design software, such as Adobe Photoshop, employs sophisticated color management systems. These systems utilize specific ICC color profiles (e.g., "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2") and advanced algorithms like GCR (Gray Component Replacement) and UCR (Under Color Removal) during CMYK conversions.
These professional methods account for critical factors such as ink saving, print stability, and adaptation to various printing conditions. Consequently, the CMYK results generated by this tool will not precisely match the values found in professional printing software or the final printed output.
These values are provided for reference purposes only.
