## 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 describes a position around a colour wheel, from 0 to 360 degrees. Saturation and lightness are shown as percentages.
