CMYK to RGB Converter
Convert CMYK print colors to RGB and HEX for screen use.
CMYK is a subtractive print model, so converting to RGB is an approximation — exact on-screen color also depends on the ICC profile your printer uses. Calculated in your browser.
Enter CMYK percentages (cyan, magenta, yellow, key/black) to get the matching RGB and HEX values with a live preview and sliders. Useful when you have a color from a print or branding spec and need its on-screen equivalent for web or UI work. Calculated in your browser.
How to use the CMYK to RGB Converter
- Enter the C, M, Y and K percentages or drag the sliders.
- Read the RGB and HEX equivalents with a live preview.
- Copy the HEX or RGB value.
Frequently asked questions
Is CMYK to RGB conversion exact?
No conversion is perfectly exact because CMYK (subtractive, for ink) and RGB (additive, for light) describe color differently. This uses the standard formula and gives a close on-screen match; true print color depends on the ICC profile.
What does the K stand for?
K is the 'key' plate — black ink. It's used instead of B to avoid confusion with blue, and it deepens shadows while saving colored ink.
