CMYK to RGB Converter
Type or paste a CMYK color: Percent signs and commas are optional, decimals are fine, or type four bare numbers.
Percentages 0–100, with or without % and cmyk(): 0 60 100 0. Fractions 0–1 with a decimal point, such as 0 0.6 1 0, are read as 0%, 60%, 100%, 0%.
rgb(255, 0, 0)Simple formula, no print profile: the same ink values print differently on different paper and presses. If your brand guide gives an RGB or HEX value, use that.

How to Convert CMYK to RGB
CMYK to RGB converts ink-based print colors to the screen-based RGB model. For example, cmyk(0%, 100%, 100%, 0%) becomes rgb(255, 0, 0), and cmyk(100%, 0%, 100%, 0%) becomes rgb(0, 255, 0). RGB values are needed for CSS, HTML canvas, JavaScript color operations, and any digital design work. This uses the simple formula without a print profile; the same ink values print differently on different paper and presses, so treat the result as an approximation.
Step by step for the color above
- Write the inks as fractions: C = 0, M = 1, Y = 1, K = 0
- R = 255 × (1 − C) × (1 − K) = 255 → 255
- G = 255 × (1 − M) × (1 − K) = 0 → 0
- B = 255 × (1 − Y) × (1 − K) = 0 → 0
- Result: rgb(255, 0, 0)
