Questions
Why is the CMYK value approximate?
CMYK describes ink on paper and depends on the printer profile. The value here is the standard naive conversion, which is a reasonable starting point but not something to send to a print house.
Does HSL use degrees?
Yes. Hue is 0–360 degrees, while saturation and lightness are percentages.
