CMYK Conversion Formula
To convert an RGB color (Red, Green, Blue) to CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black), follow these
steps:
1. Normalize RGB values:
If the RGB values are in the range 0β255, convert them to the range 0β1:
Rβ²= R/255 , Gβ²= G/255, Bβ²= B/255
1. Calculate the Key (Black) component:
K = 1 β max(Rβ², Gβ², Bβ²)
2. Calculate the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow value:
C=(1-R'-K) / (1-K) , M=(1-G'-K) / (1-K) , Y=(1-B'-K) / (1-K)
If K=1, Set C=M=Y=0 to avoid division by zero.
