Convert LAB to CMYK Using C#
The Aspose.SVG for .NET provides a high-performance C# library for various SVG parsing tasks, including seamless work with multiple color spaces. The API’s Color class enables you to parse colors from string representations (such as CMYK, HEX, HSL, HWB, CMYK, NCOL, LCH, OKLCH, LAB, OKLAB) and convert them to the desired color space.

Need to convert colors between different color models? Try our free online tool! It supports multiple color spaces, including HEX, RGB, CMYK, HSL, LAB, NCOL, XYZ, and more. Simply enter a color value to convert it. You can click inside the color area to pick a color or input a color code in the text box. The corresponding color codes will instantly appear in the Output section.
// Parse LAB color from string
var color = Color.FromLab(51.788f, 62.357f, 52.178f);
// Convert LAB to CMYK
string cmykColor = color.Convert(ColorModel.Cmyk).ToString(false, false, 0);
// Print result to console
Console.WriteLine(cmykColor);
//result should be: cmyk(0%, 73%, 84%, 12%)
How to convert LAB to CMYK using C#
If you want to use the conversion functions in your product or programmatically convert LAB to CMYK, see the C# code example above. Color conversion can be done with a few lines of code:
- Use the
Color.FromLab(lightness, a, b)
method to parse a color from the LAB color space using the specified
L,a, andbvalues. Thecolorobject created represents this LAB color. - Call the color.Convert(ColorModel.Cmyk) method to convert the color from LAB to the CMYK color space.
- The color.ToString(false,false,0) method returns a string representation of the color in CMYK color space, with no alpha channel, with percentage, and no decimal places. The format is: cmyk(0%,0%,0%,0%).

You can perform conversions between color models such as RGB, HEX, HSL, HSV, HWB, LAB, CMYK, XYZ, LCH, OKLAB, etc.
A color space is a specific organization of colors that is a collection of information and data that declares how a system or device displays color to a user. The color spaces are closely linked to the methods of describing and defining these colors using their respective color codes. For different tasks, different color codes are preferred. For example, RGB colors are for the web and CMYK colors are for print.
If you check the RGB system, you will see that there are 256 different quantity options for each color – red, green, and blue. So, according to the RGB cube model, the number of colors is 256^3 = 16 777 216. If you like working with color names, there are 147 HTML color names that can be used in HTML5, including 17 standard ones. Using HTML4, you can handle 140 color names, including 16 standard colors. The secondary color in HTML5 is orange.
What is CMYK Color?
Like geographic coordinates – longitude, latitude and height – the color values LAB give us a way to detect colors. LAB uses three axes: L – Lightness, a* – from Red to Green Value, and b* – from Blue to Yellow Value. The Lightness is expressed as a percentage and can exceed 100%. Values for the a and b axes can range from positive to negative. It is commonly clamped to the range of −128 to 127 for use with integer code values. The LAB color space and LAB color codes are recommended to use if you want the color on-screen to look the same as when printed on paper.
What is LAB Color?
CMYK colors are a combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK. This model is known as subtractive, as inks subtract the colors from white. CMYK is one of the most popular color models. The CMYK color model is used in printing inks for paper. This model includes many colors, but the number of colors is limited compared to RGB. CMYK is widely used while creating designs for printing to ensure that the desired colors are accurate and never for style sheets or HTML. CMYK is not supported in HTML, but it is suggested as a new standard in CSS4.
