How RGB to CMYK Conversion Works
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is an additive color model used by screens. Colors are created by emitting light. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used in printing. Colors are created by absorbing light with ink on paper.
Because CMYK has a narrower color gamut than RGB, some vibrant screen colors cannot be exactly reproduced in print. Neon greens, bright blues, and electric oranges often appear more muted in CMYK. This is why converting early in the design process matters — you can adjust your palette before sending files to the printer.
Note: This converter uses a mathematical RGB-to-CMYK formula. For professional print work, use Printery's ICC-profile-based conversion which accounts for paper type, ink behavior, and industry standards (ISO Coated v2, FOGRA39, SWOP).
