A simple mathematical conversion without color profiles. Printed colors depend on the paper, ink and ICC profile, so screen and print will not match exactly.

Convert print colors in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) to RGB and hex for screens, with a preview.

How to use the CMYK to RGB Converter

  1. Enter the cyan, magenta, yellow and black percentages.
  2. See the RGB and hex result.
  3. Check the preview swatch.

How it works

The basic formula is R = 255 × (1 − C) × (1 − K), and the same for G with magenta and B with yellow. CMYK is subtractive (inks absorb light) while RGB is additive (screens emit light), and printers use color profiles for paper and ink, so this simple conversion is a close approximation rather than an exact color match.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my printed color look different?

Printers have a smaller color range than screens and depend on paper, ink and color profiles.

What is K in CMYK?

Key — the black ink plate.

Should I design in RGB or CMYK?

RGB for screens; convert to CMYK with the printer’s profile for print.

What is 0, 0, 0, 100 in RGB?

Black: 0, 0, 0.
