RGB(sRGB) to CMYK Converter - Color Space Converter

RGB(sRGB) color space introduction

Also known as the RGB(sRGB) color space.There are 3 channels in total, red,commonly referred to as r,range from 0 to 255.green,commonly referred to as g,range from 0 to 255.blue,commonly referred to as b,range from 0 to 255.

Source: sRGB was jointly developed by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard in 1996. Its purpose is to serve as a standard RGB color space, ensuring consistent color display across different devices and platforms.

Primary name is sRGB, also called Standard RGB, full name is Standard Red Green Blue.

Usage: sRGB is the most commonly used color space in everyday computer monitors, TVs, cameras, printers, etc. It is also the default color space for images, videos, and web pages on the internet.

Additionally, it's worth noting that sRGB has a specific gamma value (around 2.2), which results in a non-linear relationship between low and high brightness levels. This non-linearity is beneficial for human visual perception as it provides more color details in darker areas.

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.
