About OKLCH and CMYK

OKLCH is OKLab in polar form: lightness, chroma and hue. Tailwind CSS v4 uses it for its whole palette because changing lightness keeps the hue stable.

CMYK is cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black) ink in percent. The conversion here is the simple device-independent formula, so for print always check with your printer profile.

How the conversion works

We read the OKLCH value, convert it to CIE XYZ with the matrices from the CSS Color 4 specification and then into CMYK. Values outside the target gamut are mapped by the CSS Color 4 algorithm, which keeps lightness and hue and reduces chroma.
