Frequently Asked Questions

Can one color have multiple decomposition possibilities?

Yes. Colors can be created through different mixing models such as RGB additive and CMYK subtractive, so there may be multiple valid combinations. Our tool shows various possibilities including primary mixes, secondary combinations, and tonal variations.

What's the difference between additive and subtractive color mixing?

Additive mixing (RGB) combines light colors - used in digital displays. Subtractive mixing (CMYK) combines pigments - used in printing. Our decomposer considers both models to give you comprehensive results.

How accurate are the color combinations?

Our algorithm provides mathematically accurate color combinations based on color theory principles. However, physical paint mixing may vary due to pigment properties and mixing techniques.

Can I use this tool for professional design work?

Absolutely! The tool provides precise HEX codes, RGB values, and mixing ratios that are perfect for digital design, print work, and color specification in professional projects.
