Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is RGB to CMYK suitable for final print proofing?

No. This conversion has no ICC profile, ink limit or paper model. Use your print provider’s color-managed workflow for final production.

Can HSL conversions round-trip exactly?

HSL percentages and channel values are rounded in the output. Repeated conversions can introduce small differences.

What does closest named color mean?

The nearest color is selected from a limited internal list using RGB distance. It is not a perceptual match against every CSS named color.
