Frequently Asked Questions

How does CMYK to RGB conversion work?

CMYK is a subtractive color model. The formula is: R = 255 × (1-C) × (1-K), G = 255 × (1-M) × (1-K), B = 255 × (1-Y) × (1-K). Each CMYK channel is expressed as a decimal (0-1) before calculation.

When would I convert CMYK to RGB?

When taking a print design (brochure, business card, poster) and adapting it for digital use (website, social media, email). Screen displays use RGB, so CMYK values must be translated to render correctly on monitors.

Will CMYK to RGB conversion preserve color accuracy?

The mathematical conversion is precise, but visual perception may differ slightly because screens emit light (additive mixing) while print absorbs light (subtractive mixing). The RGB result is the closest digital equivalent of your print color.
