: How to convert RGB to CMYK color code? I want to convert RGB to CMYK color code, but unfortunately, I have some problem with colors. I want to use this color #31C68B in Photoshop, and after

I don't mean to sound pedantic, but you might want to read into the very basics of RGB vs. CMYK, mainly the difference in gamut. #31C68B is an RGB colour that is outside of CMYK's gamut, which means that it cannot be reproduced in that colour space.

This is actually indicated in Photoshop's colour picker when you select the colour:



What you'll want to do is to try and approximate the RGB colour as good as possible with a CMYK colour of your choosing. Photoshop does this automatically for you, but sometimes its processes aren't always optimal.

That said, unless you extensively colour-calibrated your system, matching on-screen colours with printed ones is quite the crapshoot, with lots of experience being the main tool.

An (expensive) alternative is to choose a PMS (Pantone) colour that matches your RGB colour and have your work printed in that.
