Color Question
-
the CYMK example you gave of
C100, M89, Y10, K2 converts to 22408C (CYMK Hex).
-
Yeah but the hex value that is listed is for web.
Do you think the CMYK listed and the RGB and web-hex are all the same value?
AKA does the CMYK value = the RGB value?

For Web and Print? No of course not because they are different use cases.

The CYMK Hex value is 22408C the RGB value is 003893. RGB is for screen, CMYK is for print.

OK, so let's say I have the RGB value of (0,56,147) ... I want to convert that to a CMYK value to give to someone. How do I do that, and what would it be?

You're trying to convert a color for digital only to physical print so it won't be exact.

I know it won't be exactly eact, but it should be close.
So, what would that value be?
-
I already told you what the value is in CYMK Hex
22408C
-
But I don't want to go that way.
I am saying if I ONLY know the RGB color, and then want to get, say, a tshirt printed with that color, and the printer needs the CMYK value how do I find it out?

?? Dont want to go what way? You have an RGB, you want converted to CMYK, yes?
-
Yes. You keep giving me a hex value for a CMYK value.
I want to create a CMYK value from a RGB value.
So, if I got to this page, and enter in the RGB value, are you saying the CMYK value it gives me is not correct?
-
So you want to go from CMYK to RGB?
-
@DustinB3403 said in Color Question:

No, I want to go from RGB to CMYK.
-
And you want to go from RGB non HEX to CMYK hex correct?
-

Dustin - Willard's linked convertor disagrees with your hex value.
Edit - well, perhaps not - because while it says hex - it doesn't say if that's the RGB hex or the CYMK hex.
-
@Dashrender Shut up, you're getting this all mixed up.
The CMYK NON HEX of @BRRABill's example of C100 M89 Y10 K2 converted to RGB NON HEX is R0 G56 B147
Converted to HEX for CMYK that is 22408C and RGB HEX is 003893
-
If I use the CMYK to RGB converter, I do NOT get those values.
So, what am I doing wrong again?
-
@BRRABill said in Color Question:
C-100 M-89 Y-10 K-2
R-0 G-56 B-147
#000099Where did this information come from? As noted in the convertor @BRRABill linked to, RGB = 0, 56, 147 but that doesn't match any of the other listed data in Willard's first post.
So to me, that first post is totally broken to begin with.
-
@BRRABill Shitty software?
You could install GIMP and do this for free and be certain of the results.
-
Holy hell - those three options at the top are all completely different values when you convert them.
Hex from @BRRABill post
RGB - CMYK
CMYK - RGB
You'll notice all of the blues are nearly the same - but the are NOT the conversions from one set of numbers to another - they are some random post that @BRRABill found that some guy liked these specific values in each of those color options - NOT direct conversions.
So to answer you question @BRRABill
@BRRABill said in Color Question:
- I think the hex is wrong because I think HEX and RGB are always mirrors of each other. So the hex SHOULD be #003893.
Correct, it's wrong because it's something close, but not a direct conversion of the original line
- I have the CMYK coming out to be (100, 62, 0, 42). Again, I am assuming these three numbers should all be mirrors of each other, correct?
yep, again, these three numbers are NOT related - some random dude on some page you found just liked these three and called them close and made a post - but didn't use a convertor to do it.
So if anyone can shed some light on this colorful question, I would appreciate it!
I think there might finally be some light.
