CMYK to HPLuv(HuSLp) 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.

HPLuv(HuSLp) color space introduction

Also known as the HPLuv(HuSLp) color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.lightness,range from 0 to 100.
HPLuv is a variant of the HSLuv color space, designed to provide softer tones, focusing primarily on lighter colors.
Known as the HPLuv color space.
Similar to HSLuv, HPLuv defines colors using hue (H), pastel (P), and lightness (L), but with a constraint on saturation to create soft tones that avoid high chromaticity.
HPLuv is commonly used in graphic design and artistic creation, particularly where soft and refined tones are sought.
HPLuv provides a color space that's easy for designers to use, allowing them to create perceptually uniform soft tones, especially suited for designs that need to avoid intense colors.
