CMYK to XYB 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.

XYB color space introduction

Also known as the XYB color space.There are 3 channels in total,X,range from -0.0154 to 0.0281.Y,range from 0 to 0.8453.B,range from -0.2778 to 0.388.
The XYB color space was developed by Google as part of their JPEG XL image format. It's designed to be more efficient for compression and more aligned with human vision than traditional color spaces like RGB.
XYB color space.
In the XYB color space, colors are represented through X, Y, and B channels, with the Y channel representing luminance and X and B channels representing color information.
XYB is primarily used in the JPEG XL image format, suitable for enhancing image compression ratios and quality.
The XYB color space offers higher compression rates while maintaining image quality, making it very effective for web image transmission and storage.
