Ink on paper and light on screen are different things, so the HEX is the closest screen equivalent for a standard printing condition, not an identity. If the guide names an ICC profile, mention it to whoever builds the web version.

What is the cmyk to hex?

CMYK to HEX converts a four-color print build into the six-digit web color it most closely matches on screen, with the RGB and HSL values shown alongside.

From ink percentages to a web color

Brand guides written for print sometimes list only CMYK. To use those colors on a website you need HEX. Enter the percentages to get the HEX that the standard formula produces. Brand guides usually assume a profile (most European guides FOGRA39, most North American ones GRACoL or SWOP), and the printed color can differ slightly from the formula result, so check it against a printed sample when it matters.

How do I convert CMYK to a HEX code?

Enter the four values. The HEX appears with a copy button, plus RGB and the color's reference page.

Why is the HEX not exact?

CMYK ink on paper and HEX light on screen are different physical things. The conversion is a standard formula; the printed color also depends on the press profile and paper.
