CMY to RGB table

CMY to RGB - Print to Screen. With Hexadecimal values.

The following table illustrates the CMY values found in a 64 hue colour cube and the equivalent RGB values for the same colour. The first are reflective colours used in prints and dyes, the second are illuminated, used on screens such as TV's and computers. They are approximately inverse but not closely. (see for example how 0% Cyan is not necessarily 255 Red)
This chart is based on the 4 planes of a 3D colour cube. See www.colourcube.com for a real cube, software and more information.

At the bottom is another small chart comparing the key colour values (the 8 cube corners) and a chart noting the basic hexadecimal values of RGB (noted as "Hex" below)

This chart compares the 8 key (cube corner) RGB values with the equivalent CMY. Note that most RGB values are too "hot" or saturated for printing and are thus not "safe".
