Common mistakes

The user enters CMYK values outside 0 to 100

Fix: Use valid percentage values for all four channels.

The user expects exact print-to-screen identity

Fix: The conversion is useful, but print and screen models still differ visually.

The input is actually RGB or hex

Fix: Use the matching converter for the actual source format.

The user wants RGB values instead

Fix: Use CMYK to RGB if the target format should be rgb(...).

Formatting characters make parsing fail

Fix: Enter clean numeric values like 0 66 80 0.
