How Color Conversion Works

All color models describe the same visible spectrum, but from different perspectives.RGB is additive (light mixing), CMYK is subtractive (ink mixing), and HSL/HWB are cylindrical models designed for human intuition.

Internally, conversions go through RGB as the common intermediate. For example, HSL → RGB → CMYK. This means every format can be reached from any other with at most two conversion steps.

Why multiple formats?

Different contexts favor different models. Web developers use HEX and RGB in CSS. Designers prefer HSL for its intuitive hue control. Print professionals need CMYK for accurate ink separation. NCol is a newer notation that maps naturally to how humans describe colors.
