Frequently asked questions

Why do different sources give different HEX values for the same traditional colour?

Traditional colour names come from dyes, pigments and literature rather than a single standard. This tool uses widely accepted reference values, and small differences between sources are normal.

Can I use these CMYK values for printing?

The CMYK values are converted from RGB and meant as a starting point. For commercial printing, always check a physical colour guide or a printed proof.

Why is a colour grouped into one family when it looks like another?

Many traditional colours sit between two families. Each colour here is grouped by its dominant hue so that filtering stays practical.
