CMYK to OKHSL 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.

OKHSL color space introduction

Also known as the OKHSL color space.There are 3 channels in total,H,range from 0 to 360.S,range from 0 to 1.L,range from 0 to 1.
OKHSL is a color space designed by Björn Ottosson, derived from the OKLab color space. It is an HSL-like (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) model that is more perceptually uniform than traditional HSL color spaces.
OKHSL color space.
In the OKHSL color space, colors are represented by Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Lightness (L), offering a more accurate representation of human color perception differences.
OKHSL is primarily used in applications requiring perceptual uniformity and intuitive color adjustments, such as image processing and user interface design.
Due to its perceptual uniformity, OKHSL is more intuitive and consistent for color adjustments, particularly suited for graphic design and user interface layouts.
