Most color pickers are designed for screens (RGB). This tool was created specifically for print designers, prepress professionals, and graphic artists who need accurate CMYK values. Whether you're designing business cards, brochures, or packaging, get the exact ink percentages you need.
Unlike simple sliders, our picker lets you visually explore the CMYK color space. The 2D picker shows Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow mixing in real-time, while the separate Black (K) slider lets you add depth without muddying your colors.
Professional printers typically recommend keeping total ink coverage under 300%. Our tool warns you when ink levels get too high, helping you avoid bleeding, drying issues, and print defects.
Frustrated by the lack of proper CMYK color pickers online, we decided to build one. Every color picker we found was RGB-based with CMYK as an afterthought. This tool puts CMYK first because print deserves better.
