Taking web colors to print
HEX codes describe colors on screens: behind #0077B6 are the RGB channel values 0, 119 and 182. A printing press cannot reproduce light, it lays down ink, so print files describe colors in CMYK — the percentage of cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink on each spot. For this blue the converter gives cmyk(100%, 35%, 0%, 29%).
Convert HEX to CMYK when a brand identity was designed for the web first and now needs business cards, flyers or packaging, or when a print template asks for CMYK values. The tool uses the basic formula without a color profile, so treat the result as a starting point rather than a press-ready value; printers usually adjust colors for their paper and ink. If a color must match exactly across print jobs, a spot color system such as Pantone is the more reliable choice — try the HEX to Pantone tool.
