CMYK to OKHSV 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.

OKHSV color space introduction

Also known as the OKHSV color space.There are 3 channels in total,H,range from 0 to 360.S,range from 0 to 1.V,range from 0 to 1.
OKHSV is a color space designed by Björn Ottosson, derived from the OKLab color space. Like OKHSL, OKHSV is an adaptation of the traditional HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) model, aiming to offer a more perceptually uniform approach to color representation than the standard HSV model.
OKHSV color space.
In the OKHSV color space, colors are represented by Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Value (V), aligning more closely with human color perception and making color adjustments more consistent and intuitive.
OKHSV is primarily used in applications requiring perceptual uniformity and intuitive color adjustments, such as image processing and user interface design.
Due to its perceptual uniformity, OKHSV is more intuitive and consistent for color adjustments, particularly suited for graphic design and user interface layouts.
