Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
Both represent the same color information. HEX (#RRGGBB) uses hexadecimal notation common in web development, while RGB (rgb(R,G,B)) uses decimal values. They are interchangeable—#FF0000 equals rgb(255,0,0) which is pure red.
Why does CMYK look different from RGB?
RGB is additive (light-based) used for screens, while CMYK is subtractive (ink-based) used for print. RGB has a wider gamut than CMYK, so some bright screen colors cannot be accurately reproduced in print.
How accurate are the conversions?
Conversions use standard conversion factors with high precision. For scientific applications use certified tools.
