CMYK to HSP Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

Also known as the HSP color space.There are 3 channels in total,hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.perceived_brightness,range from 0 to 255.

The HSP color space is designed to represent the perceived brightness of colors more accurately than traditional RGB or HSL color models, taking into account the nonlinear sensitivity of human eyes to different color wavelengths.

HSP color space.

In the HSP color space, colors are expressed through Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Perceived brightness (P), where perceived brightness is calculated using specific weights for the RGB channels that mimic the human eye's response to red, green, and blue.

The HSP color space is commonly used in applications that require an accurate reflection of color brightness perception, such as image processing and user interface design.

The HSP color space can provide a brightness representation that is closer to human visual perception, especially when adjusting the lightness and darkness of colors.
