Enter values for an Cmyk to convert it to Cmy, or vice versa.
Cmyk is similar to the Cmy color space, with the addition of black (k). In theory the black component is not necessary, however this color space is primarily used in color printing where the mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow result in a brown color rather than black.
We'll be adding support for ICC profiles to this page soon, but it's already available on our color converter page.
Cmy is frequenty associated with color printing, and it's determined by the relation of colors cyan, magenta and yellow. Unlike Rgb, cmy is subtractive, meaning that higher values are associated with darker colors rather than light.
If you're into color, color theory or design you should definitely check out the award winning Nix Color Sensor. It really is a game changing tool!
All calculations were doing using the open source ColorMine library.
The code used for the Cmyk and Cmy conversions can be found on Github:
var cmyk = new Cmyk();
var cmy = cmyk.To<Cmy>();
