Rgb Cmyk Conversion

A
def rgb_to_cmyk(r_input: int, g_input: int, b_input: int) -> tuple[int, int, int, int]:
    """
    Simple RGB to CMYK conversion. Returns percentages of CMYK paint.

    Note: this is a very popular algorithm that converts colors linearly and gives
    only approximate results. Actual preparation for printing requires advanced color
    conversion considering the color profiles and parameters of the target device.
