Overview

An CMYK colour object. CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) colours are based on additive percentages of ink. A CMYK colour of (0.3, 0, 0.8, 0.3) would be mixed from 30% cyan, 0% magenta, 80% yellow, and 30% black. Primarily used in four-colour printing processes.

Constructor Details

#initialize(c = 0, m = 0, y = 0, k = 0) ⇒ CMYK

Creates a CMYK colour object from percentages. Internally, the colour is managed as fractional values 0..1.

Instance Method Details

#==(other) ⇒ Object

Compares the other colour to this one. The other colour will be converted to CMYK before comparison, so the comparison between a CMYK colour and a non-CMYK colour will be approximate and based on the other colour’s #to_cmyk conversion. If there is no #to_cmyk conversion, this will raise an exception. This will report that two CMYK colours are equivalent if all component values are within COLOR_TOLERANCE of each other.

#to_grayscale ⇒ Object Also known as: to_greyscale

Converts the CMYK colour to a single greyscale value. There are undoubtedly multiple methods for this conversion, but only a minor variant of the Adobe conversion method will be used:

g = 1.0 - min(1.0, 0.299 * c + 0.587 * m + 0.114 * y + k)

This treats the CMY values similarly to YIQ (NTSC) values and then adds the level of black. This is a variant of the Adobe version because it uses the more precise YIQ (NTSC) conversion values for Y (intensity) rather than the approximates provided by Adobe (0.3, 0.59, and 0.11).

#to_rgb(use_adobe_method = false) ⇒ Object

Converts the CMYK colour to RGB. Most colour experts strongly suggest that this is not a good idea (some even suggesting that it’s a very bad idea). CMYK represents additive percentages of inks on white paper, whereas RGB represents mixed colour intensities on a black screen.

However, the colour conversion can be done, and there are two different methods for the conversion that provide slightly different results. Adobe PDF conversions are done with the first form.

  # Adobe PDF Display Formula
r = 1.0 - min(1.0, c + k)
g = 1.0 - min(1.0, m + k)
b = 1.0 - min(1.0, y + k)

  # Other
r = 1.0 - (c * (1.0 - k) + k)
g = 1.0 - (m * (1.0 - k) + k)
b = 1.0 - (y * (1.0 - k) + k)

If we have a CMYK colour of [33% 66% 83% 25%], the first method will give an approximate RGB colour of (107, 23, 0) or #6b1700. The second method will give an approximate RGB colour of (128, 65, 33) or #804121. Which is correct? Although the colours may seem to be drastically different in the RGB colour space, they are very similar colours, differing mostly in intensity. The first is a darker, slightly redder brown; the second is a lighter brown.

Because of this subtlety, both methods are now offered for conversion. The Adobe method is not used by default; to enable it, pass true to #to_rgb.

Future versions of Color may offer other conversion mechanisms that offer greater colour fidelity, including recognition of ICC colour profiles.
