How to use Convert a CMYK Color to Hex

  1. 1. Enter the CMYK color. Paste a value in cmyk() notation, such as cmyk(0%, 50%, 100%, 0%), into the input pane. The four percentages are cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black) coverage.
  2. 2. How the conversion works. There are no settings; each channel is mapped from ink coverage to light intensity and combined with the key component, producing the equivalent RGB values which are then written as a hex triplet.
  3. 3. Copy the hex code. Take the resulting #rrggbb value from the output pane and paste it straight into your CSS, design token file or brand palette document.

When to use Convert a CMYK Color to Hex

Convert a CMYK Color to Hex bridges print and screen. Brand guidelines and print shops speak CMYK, while websites and design tools want #rrggbb. This converter does the ink-to-light math for you so a printed brand color can be reproduced on the web without guessing.

  • Translating a print style guide. A client's brand book only lists CMYK values from their offset printer. Convert each one here to get hex codes you can drop into the site's stylesheet and Figma variables.
  • Matching packaging to a landing page. Marketing wants the product page background to match the box artwork. Take the CMYK spec from the packaging vendor and convert it so the on-screen color is at least nominally the same.
  • Migrating legacy design assets. Old InDesign or Illustrator documents define swatches in CMYK. As you rebuild those assets for digital use, run the swatches through this tool to populate a hex palette.
  • Sanity-checking an agency handoff. An agency delivered both CMYK and hex values for each brand color. Convert the CMYK yourself and flag any pairs that disagree before the mismatch ships in two mediums.
