CMYK to LCH 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 LCH color space.There are 3 channels in total,Lightness,range from 0 to 100.Chroma,range from 0 to 150.Hue,range from 0 to 360.

The LCH color space is a cylindrical representation of the CIELAB color model.

LCH color space.

In the LCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*), Chroma or Purity (C*), and Hue angle (H°).

The LCH color space is commonly used in color design and analysis, particularly when intuitive handling of colors is needed.

The LCH color space facilitates intuitive color selection and adjustment by users based on hue, saturation, and lightness.
