DIN99 Lab(DLAB) to CMYK Converter - Color Space Converter

DIN99 Lab(DLAB) color space introduction

Also known as the DIN99 Lab(DLAB) color space.There are 3 channels in total, L,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -40.09 to 45.501.b,range from -40.469 to 44.344.
DIN99 Lab, often referred to as DLab, is a color space derived from the CIE L*a*b* color space. It was developed based on the DIN99 colorimetric system, which is an adaptation of the L*a*b* model to improve perceptual uniformity.
DIN99 Lab color space.
In the DIN99 Lab color space, colors are represented by Lightness (L*99), green-red chromatic component (a*99), and blue-yellow chromatic component (b*99).
DLab is primarily used in fields where more precise perceptual uniformity is required, such as color science and quality control.
The DLab color space is particularly useful in color evaluation and matching due to its perceptual uniformity in representing colors.

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.
