HOW TO USE THIS CHART
A reference, not a promise.
Every swatch starts with an sRGB color. The CMYK numbers are device-independent mathematical estimates, useful for planning and communication. Actual output changes with the paper, ink set, press calibration, color profile, and viewing conditions.
For production: ask your print provider for the correct ICC profile and a contract proof. Never approve a critical brand color from an uncalibrated phone or laptop screen.
What each value means
HEX and RGB
HEX is a compact way to write an RGB color for interfaces and websites. Both describe emitted screen light and map to the same three red, green, and blue channels.
CMYK
CMYK describes proportions of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink. The same RGB color can produce different CMYK recipes under different print profiles, which is why conversion values should be treated as a starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Can screen colors match print exactly?
Not reliably from a screen preview alone. Monitors emit RGB light while printing uses reflected light and subtractive inks. Use the chart as a starting point, then request a physical proof for critical work.
Are the CMYK values press-ready?
They are useful mathematical reference values. A press-ready conversion depends on the ICC profile, total ink limit, paper, press, and production standard used by your printer.
Can I copy a color value?
Yes. Select the HEX value on any card to copy it. Each color detail page also lists RGB and CMYK values.
