CMYK Calculator Description

A color space is a way of representing colors and how they relate to one another. Among the color spaces currently in use, the RGB and CMYK spaces are encountered very frequently: RGB, because it is used in color monitors; and CMYK, because it is used for printing. There are different reasons for using different color spaces, and any google search will produce many results for further study. In the computer industry, RGB has become the de facto standard for both desktop applications and web-based systems. RGB is an additive color space - that is, its three primary colors (red, green, and blue) combine additively to produce any desired colors. Each of the component colors is represented by a number from 0 to 255. This representation lends itself to easy manipulation by computer systems in a hex notation. It also means that 255 x 255 x 255, or 16,777,216 different colors may be represented in the RGB color space.CMYK by contrast is a subtractive color space. It is the complement of the RGB color space - cyan, magenta, and yellow are the complements of red, green, and blue, respectively. CMYK is called subtractive because its primary colors are subtracted from white light to produce the resulting color: cyan absorbs red, magenta absorbs green, and yellow absorbs blue. The CMYK Calculator was developed to be a small tool that will calculate the CMYK according to RGB input values.
