      Hi, I found this site by googling this question so thanks in advance for your time.

      I’m making a brand sheet and specifying a colour palette with cmyk, rgb and hex breakdowns.

      However, I’m getting different cmyk/rgb conversions in indesign than in photoshop. Do you have a tip or tool to get the most accurate conversion please?

      Thanks

      Unfortunately, there is no such thing as “most accurate” when it comes to RGB to CMYK (or vice versa) conversions because each is like a set of ingredients in a cooking recipe — but the ingredients taste different in different places. For example, cyan ink looks different on a printing press vs. inkjet printer vs. newspaper printer, etc. So that’s where the topic of “color management” comes in.

      I have a course on “indesign color management” that might be helpful, on LinkedIn Learning.
