CMYK to HSLuv(HuSL) Converter - Color Space Converter

CMYK color space introduction

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.

HSLuv(HuSL) color space introduction

Also known as the HSLuv(HuSL) color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.lightness,range from 0 to 100.
HSLuv is a human-friendly alternative to the CIELUV color space, designed to provide a more perceptually uniform color mapping while retaining the convenience of the HSL representation.
Known as the HSLuv color space.
Colors are represented by three parameters: hue (H), saturation (S), and lightness (L), attempting to maintain perceptual uniformity of saturation across the hue circle.
HSLuv is commonly used in fields requiring intuitive color selection and perceptual uniformity, such as user interface design and artistic creation.
HSLuv adjusts the hue circle of HSL to achieve the goal of maintaining color perceptual uniformity across different levels of lightness.
