CMYK to Oklch 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.

Oklch color space introduction

Also known as the Oklch color space.There are 3 channels in total,Lightness,range from 0 to 1.Chroma,range from 0 to 0.4.Hue,range from 0 to 360.
The OKLCH color space is derived from the OKLab color space, providing a cylindrical representation similar to LCH, but based on the more perceptually uniform OKLab color model.
OKLCH color space.
In the OKLCH color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L), Chroma (C), and Hue angle (H).
OKLCH is commonly used for tasks requiring a perceptually linear color space, such as color grading and graphic design.
OKLCH color space is suitable for advanced color editing and design tasks due to its perceptual uniformity.
