CMYK to HCY Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the CMYK color space.There are 4 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.black,commonly referred to as k,range from 0 to 100.

Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.

Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.

Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.

Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

Also known as the HCY color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.chroma,range from 0 to 100.luminance,range from 0 to 255.

The HCY color space represents colors in terms of hue, chroma (colorfulness relative to brightness), and luma (brightness or luminance), offering an alternative to color spaces like HSL and HSV.

Known as the HCY color space.

Colors are defined by hue (H), chroma (C), and luma (Y), with luma (Y) being a representation of brightness that corresponds more closely to human visual perception.

The HCY color space is often used in applications where the perception of color brightness is important, such as video and image processing, and user interface design.

Compared to HSL or HSV, HCY offers a representation of colors that aligns more with human perception of brightness, especially effective during color transformation and adjustment.
