CMYK to RGB Converter
Convert CMYK print color values to RGB screen colors.
About this conversion
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used in commercial printing. Ink absorbs light, so combining all four inks at full strength yields near-black. Each value is expressed as a percentage from 0 to 100, representing the amount of each ink applied to the paper.
RGB is an additive model used by monitors, phones, and any light-emitting display. Because the two models describe color in fundamentally different ways, converting between them involves a mathematical approximation — the on-screen result is as close as possible but may not be an exact match for the printed output. This difference is why print professionals use ICC profiles and proofing workflows.
Use this converter when you receive CMYK values from a print designer or a Pantone swatch book and need an RGB equivalent for web or app design. The tool also shows you the corresponding HEX code so you can drop it straight into your CSS.
Test your colors in print
After converting your colors, print a test page to verify they look correct on paper:
Color conversions are mathematical approximations. For critical color work, verify against physical swatch books and printed proofs. See our full disclaimer.
