CMYK to CMY Converter - Color Space Converter
CMYK color space introduction
Also known as the CMYK color space.There are 4 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.black,commonly referred to as k,range from 0 to 100.
Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.
Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.
Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.
Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

Source: CMY is based on the subtractive properties of color related to printing. It takes into account the ink or dye absorbing certain wavelengths of light from white light, thereby displaying color.
Primary name: CMY, which includes the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color channels.
Usage: Although CMY is not as commonly used in professional printing as CMYK, it is useful in understanding the basics of color mixing and printing. CMY color mode can also be found in certain digital art and design software.
Additionally, it's important to note that, in contrast to the RGB color space, CMY and RGB are complementary. Theoretically, Cyan (C) is the complement of Red (R), Magenta (M) is the complement of Green (G), and Yellow (Y) is the complement of Blue (B). Thus, CMY and RGB can be converted through corresponding relationships.
