Map CMYK from print specs to sRGB values for screens, slides, and prototypes. Ideal when brand files only list process colors.
Print uses CMYK. Screens use RGB. They don't match perfectly, and that's why conversions matter.
CMYK mixes cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink on paper. It's subtractive—more ink means darker colors. RGB mixes red, green, and blue light on screens. It's additive—more light means brighter colors.
When you need to use print colors on a website or app, a CMYK to RGB converter handles the math.
Screens can't display CMYK directly. They need RGB values. If you've got CMYK from a print design and try to use it online, colors will look off—often duller or shifted.
Converting CMYK to RGB ensures your brand colors translate properly from print to digital. That logo that looks perfect on business cards will look right on your website too. It's essential when adapting print materials for web or mobile apps.
Enter CMYK percentages (like C: 100, M: 50, Y: 0, K: 0) and get RGB values instantly. RGB uses 0-255 for each color channel.
The conversion accounts for how ink and light differ. What looks vibrant in CMYK might need different RGB values to appear the same on screen. This tool does that calculation automatically.
CMYK subtracts light. Print white paper, add cyan ink, and you get cyan. Add more inks, and it gets darker. It's how physical printing works.
RGB adds light. Start with a black screen, add red light, and you get red. Add more light channels, and it gets brighter. Screens work this way because they emit light instead of reflecting it.
That's why CMYK colors often look duller when converted to RGB—screens can produce brighter colors than ink can reflect.
Fast, accurate conversion from print to digital. Enter CMYK, get RGB. No manual calculations needed.
Works on any device. Convert print colors for web projects, verify color accuracy, or match colors across formats. Whether you're at your desk or showing a client options on your phone, this tool gets you the right RGB values.
CMYK: cmyk(18%, 17%, 84%, 0%)
RGB: rgb(209, 212, 41)
