Convert CMYK to RGB
Use this CMYK to RGB converter to translate a color value across common formats and reference systems, then explore matching color schemes and palette-ready variations.
About CMYK
CMYK represents cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (key) inks used in printing. Conversions to/from CMYK depend on print conditions and ICC profiles, so results can vary.
About RGB
RGB represents a color as red, green, and blue channels. In CSS it is usually written as rgb(r g b) or rgb(r, g, b) with values from 0–255 (or percentages).
Notes on accuracy
- CMYK values depend on print profiles and materials. Always proof critical colors.
Color schemes
Generate related palettes from the converted color. The tool provides multiple scheme types (analogous, monochromatic, complementary, triadic, tetradic, and split-complementary) to speed up UI design, branding, and illustration workflows.

FAQ
How does the CMYK to RGB converter work?
Enter a CMYK value in the converter and the tool will calculate the closest equivalents, including RGB plus other related formats for cross-checking and palette building.
Why can CMYK to RGB results differ between tools?
CMYK conversions depend on print profiles (ICC), ink limits, and paper. Two tools can output different values while still being “reasonable” for different printing conditions.
What input formats are supported?
The converter accepts common formats such as HEX and RGB, and can output multiple formats at once to help compare results quickly.
Can these values be used directly in CSS or design tools?
Yes. Use the output values directly where your workflow expects them (for example, HEX/RGB/HSL for CSS, or CMYK for print-oriented design), then validate in context for the final medium (screen vs print).

Color schemes:
The converter generates color schemes from the converted sample. The schemes are based on color theory, it provides 6 color schemes in the following order: analogous, monochromatic, complementary, triade, tetrade and split. For colors based on shades of gray like white, black or any grayscale color, the schemes are not generated You can covert each color cample from the scheme by clicking on it.
