CMYK Color picker from image

The use of a color picker is a common practice in order to select an appropriate color for a design. This cmyk color picker is an extension of the RGB color picker, but it uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to create the desired colors.

The cmyk color picker was created because there are some colors that can only be produced with CMYK ink. This is why designers need to have access to the CMYK palette when they are designing for print.
