CMYK to Oklab 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 Oklab color space.There are 3 channels in total,L,range from 0 to 1.a,range from -0.4 to 0.4.b,range from -0.4 to 0.4.

OKLab is a perceptually uniform color space developed by Björn Ottosson, designed as a simple and computationally efficient color space that closely aligns with human vision.

OKLab color space.

In the OKLab color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L), green-red chroma component (a), and blue-yellow chroma component (b).

OKLab is commonly used for tasks where color difference is important, such as color grading, graphic design, and image processing.

Due to its perceptual uniformity and simplicity in computation, OKLab is particularly useful in color editing and image analysis.
