CMYK to RGB conversion formula

The R,G,B values are given in the range of 0..255.

The red (R) color is calculated from the cyan (C) and black (K) colors:

R = 255 × (1-C) × (1-K)

The green color (G) is calculated from the magenta (M) and black (K) colors:

G = 255 × (1-M) × (1-K)

The blue color (B) is calculated from the yellow (Y) and black (K) colors:

B = 255 × (1-Y) × (1-K)

How to Convert CMYK to RGB

Red, green, blue values ​​are given in the range of 0..255, red (R) is calculated from cyan (C) and black (K) colors, green (G) is calculated from magenta is (m) and black (k) colors, blue (b) is calculated from yellow (y) and black (k) colors. Below is the formula for CMYK to RGB conversion

Red = 255 × (1 - cyan 100) × (1 - black 100)
Green = 255 × (1 - magenta 100) × (1 - black 100)
Blue = 255 × (1 - Yellow 100) × (1 - Black 100)

How to Convert RGB to CMYK

The maximum number of R, G, B values ​​is 255, first, we divide them by 255 to become a number 0~1, this ratio will be used in the calculation.

RC = R 255
GC = G 255
BC = B 255

The black key (K) color can have many results, when we consider a black key value, the other three colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) can be calculated. We can calculate this from the colors red, green and blue, the maximum number of black keys should be:

k = 1 - max(rc, gc, bc);

Or we can assume that we have run out of black ink, need to use the remaining three colored inks to complete the printing job.

k = 0;

The cyan color (C) is calculated from the red and black colors:
c = (1 - rc - k) (1 - k)
The magenta color (M) is calculated from the green and black colors:
m = (1 - gr - k) (1 - k)
The yellow color (Y) is calculated from the blue and black colors:
y = (1 - bc - k) ( 1 - k)

What is the difference between CMYK and RGB colors?

  • CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black), while RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. These are two different color models that are used for different purposes. CMYK is a subtractive color model, which means that it is used to create colors by subtracting certain wavelengths of light from a white background. This is the model that is used for printing, because it allows for the creation of a wide range of colors using just four inks. RGB, on the other hand, is an additive color model, which means that it is used to create colors by adding different wavelengths of light together. This is the model that is used for displays, such as computer monitors and televisions.

Can I convert CMYK colors to RGB?

  • Yes, it is possible to convert CMYK colors to RGB. However, it is important to note that the conversion process is not always accurate, because the two color models use different methods to create colors. When converting from CMYK to RGB, some colors may appear differently on different displays, and some colors may not be reproducible at all. This is because the range of colors that can be produced using the CMYK model is smaller than the range of colors that can be produced using the RGB model.
