HP-GL Color

Encoding

Example

Any color can be reproduced by using some combination of CMYK. If you have defined the following CMYK values for the color brown in your application, the NTSC equation that follows shows you how the percentage of grayscale for the color is derived.

CMYK Value

C(96) M (128) Y (224) K (0)

[(96*0.3) + (128*0.59) + (224*0.11) + 0] ÷ 255 = [(28.80) + (75.52) + (24.64) + 0] ÷ 255 = 50%
