CMYK to Absolute XYZ D65 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.

Absolute XYZ D65 color space introduction

Also known as the Absolute XYZ D65 color space.There are 3 channels in total,Xa,range from 0 to 9504.7.Ya,range from 0 to 10000.Za,range from 0 to 10888.3.
XYZ (Absolute) with D65 illuminant is a version of the CIE XYZ color space that uses absolute values rather than relative values, referenced to the D65 standard illuminant. D65 is intended to represent average daylight and is commonly used as a standard white point in various color spaces.
XYZ Abs D65 color space.
In the XYZ Abs D65 color space, colors are represented through X, Y, and Z dimensions, with absolute values referenced to the D65 standard illuminant.
XYZ Abs D65 is primarily used in fields requiring precise color management and analysis, such as professional photography, image processing, and color science research.
Due to its absolute value nature, XYZ Abs D65 color space is particularly useful for high-precision color tasks such as color matching and reproduction.
