Common mistakes in sample input

The hex value is invalid or the wrong length

Fix: Use a valid 3-digit or 6-digit hex color.

The user expects an exact print match from a screen color

Fix: Hex and CMYK are different color models, so the result is an approximation.

The source color is RGB rather than hex

Fix: Use RGB to CMYK if your source is already in RGB numbers.

The user expects transparency support

Fix: This tool focuses on standard opaque color conversion.

The wrong hex code was pasted

Fix: Double-check the source color value before converting.
