Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between RGB and CMYK?

RGB is for screens, CMYK for print. Very bright screen colors can look duller in print.

Why check contrast?

At least 4.5:1 contrast between text and background keeps it readable for everyone.

Why does printed colour differ from the screen?

Screens mix light (RGB) and printers mix inks (CMYK); some bright colours cannot be printed.

What does the contrast score mean?

It measures text readability on a background: 4.5:1 minimum, 7:1 ideal.

Is this tool really free?

Yes, 100% free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no usage limit.

Are my files safe?

Yes. Processing happens directly in your browser: your files are never uploaded to a server or stored.

When to use it

The colour converter translates a colour between HEX (web), RGB (screens), HSL (fine tuning) and CMYK (print), generates shades and checks contrast for a readable, accessible brand palette.

Our tips

💡 For print, send CMYK values to your printer, not HEX.
💡 A contrast of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for readable text (WCAG).
💡 Use generated shades for hover and disabled button states.
