CMYK to UCS(cie1960) 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 UCS(cie1960) color space.There are 3 channels in total,U,range from 0 to 100.V,range from 0 to 100.W,range from 0 to 100.

Developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1960, it was intended to provide a uniform color scale that would more closely align with human vision.

The primary name is CIE 1960 UCS (Uniform Color Scale). It is also referred to as the CIE 1960 (u, v) chromaticity space.

Colors in the CIE 1960 UCS are expressed in terms of chromaticity coordinates 'u' and 'v' derived from the CIE XYZ color space, with the addition of a 'W' coordinate representing the luminance factor.

The CIE 1960 UCS is used for applications where a more perceptually linear color space is useful. It's often used in color research and for specifying the colors of light sources and illuminants.

The CIE 1960 UCS is an intermediate step towards the development of subsequent color spaces that are more perceptually uniform, such as CIELUV and CIELAB.
