How to Use the CMYK to HEX Converter

Enter Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black) percentages, or use the Random Colour button, and the tool instantly converts them into a HEX code and RGB values for use on screen.

What is CMYK?

CMYK describes how much Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black) ink combine to make a colour, and is the standard model used in print. It works by subtracting light from white paper, unlike RGB and HEX, which add light on a screen.

Why Convert CMYK to HEX?

If you have a CMYK value from a print specification or a physical colour swatch, converting it to HEX lets you preview an approximation of that colour on screen, or use it in web and digital design software that expects HEX or RGB.

Examples

C 40%, M 0%, Y 28%, K 51% ≈ #4A7C59
C 0%, M 0%, Y 0%, K 100% = #000000
C 0%, M 0%, Y 0%, K 0% = #FFFFFF

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CMYK colour?

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black) — the four inks used in most colour printing. It is a subtractive colour model, where combining inks removes light rather than adding it.

How does this tool convert CMYK to HEX?

It first converts your CMYK percentages to RGB using a standard formula, then converts that RGB value into a HEX code.

Is the conversion exact?

No. CMYK to RGB/HEX conversion is a general mathematical estimate, not a press-ready or ICC colour-profile-accurate value. Actual printed colour depends on the specific inks, printer and paper used.

Why would I need to convert CMYK to HEX?

If you have a CMYK value from a print spec sheet, a swatch book or packaging, converting it to HEX lets you preview an approximation on screen or use it in web and digital design tools.

What range should C, M, Y and K be?

Each of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black) should be a percentage from 0 to 100.

Can I copy the result?

Yes. Use the Copy HEX or Copy RGB buttons to copy the corresponding value to your clipboard.

Does the tool save my colours?

No. All calculations happen in your browser and nothing is saved or sent to a server.

Is this tool free to use?
