I'm searching for a way to convert a YS colorcode (YS 740 ; used in china) to rgb or cmyk or any code, you can use in Adobe products.

I already tried figure out how to do this for about a whole afternoon, but I couldn't find any help. So, does anyone of you know a way or a website where you can do this, or even the code for YS 740?

Thanks!

You will have to do that manually, do you have a color chip sample?]\永翔化學工業股份有限公司

You may need to order a catalog of theirs 2018-2019 Water / Solvent-based Universal Catalog , and cross reference against for example a pantone bridge book. Though Pantone does not do a great job of matching CMYK as using a spectrophotometer does with lab values, that may be your best option.

Those are paints. It looks like you will have to buy a color catalog in order to see how it looks.

I wouldn't trust any automatic color conversion, because the result depends on corect color management settings.

Maybe you can ask these people where to get that printed catalog: https://www.y-s-paint.com.tw
