Common mistakes
The user enters percentages outside 0 to 100
Fix: Use valid CMYK percentage values between 0 and 100.
The user expects a perfect print-to-screen match
Fix: CMYK and RGB are different color models, so visual matching can still vary.
Only three values are entered
Fix: CMYK needs four values: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
The user wants hex output instead of RGB
Fix: Use CMYK to Hex if the final target is a hex color code.
The input format includes labels that are parsed badly
Fix: Enter clean numeric values like 0 66 80 0.
