Common errors

The RGB values are outside the 0 to 255 range

Fix: Use integer RGB values between 0 and 255.

The user expects an exact print result from screen values

Fix: RGB and CMYK are different models, so conversion gives an approximation.

The user enters a hex code instead of RGB numbers

Fix: Use Hex to CMYK if the source color is in hex format.

Only one or two numbers are entered

Fix: RGB conversion needs three values: red, green, and blue.

Decimals or punctuation make the input invalid

Fix: Enter clean numeric RGB values like 255 87 51.
