HEX and CMYK
HEX codes use six characters (0–9, A–F) for red, green, and blue. CMYK uses four ink percentages: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Conversion goes from HEX to RGB, then to CMYK so you get values suitable for print.
HEX format
Format is #RRGGBB. Each pair is one byte in hex (00–FF). For example, #FF0000 is red (full red, no green or blue).
CMYK and print
Printers use CMYK. Screen colors do not always match print. Use this tool to get CMYK numbers, then check a printed proof for critical work.
