Converting from Hex/RGB to CMYK is an approximation. The actual printed result depends on the ICC color profile, paper stock, and printing process. For critical color matching, always request a printed proof from your printer and consider using Pantone spot colors instead.

Understanding Hex to CMYK Conversion
What is a Hex Color Code?
A hexadecimal (hex) color code is a 6-digit code that represents colors in web design and digital media. It uses base-16 notation with digits 0-9 and letters A-F. For example, #00DC82 represents a bright green color used in this website.
What is CMYK?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black) - the four ink colors used in professional printing. Unlike RGB (used for screens), CMYK is a subtractive color model designed for physical print media. Each value is expressed as a percentage from 0% to 100%.
Why Convert Hex to CMYK?
When preparing designs for print, you need to convert screen colors (Hex/RGB) to print colors (CMYK). This ensures your printed materials match your digital designs as closely as possible. However, note that not all RGB colors can be exactly reproduced in CMYK due to different color gamuts.
Conversion Accuracy
This tool uses a standard RGB-to-CMYK conversion formula. However, actual printed results depend on many factors including the ICC color profile, paper type, ink quality, and printing press calibration. For critical color matching, always request a printed proof and consider using Pantone spot colors.
