  2. CMYK color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

    CMYK color model. Color printing typically uses ink of four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. When subtractive CMY inks are combined at full strength, pairwise combinations are red, green, and blue. Combining all three gives an imperfect black color. What appears as cerulean ( ) in the top image is actually a blend of cyan, magenta ...

    One starts with a white substrate (canvas, page, etc.), and uses ink to subtract color from white to create an image. CMYK stores ink values for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. There are many CMYK colorspaces for different sets of inks, substrates, and press characteristics (which change the dot gain or transfer function for each ink and thus ...

It is possible to achieve a large range of colors seen by humans by combining cyan, magenta, and yellowtransparent dyes/inks on a white substrate. These are the subtractiveprimary colors.

In the RGB model, an equal mixture of red and green is yellow, an equal mixture of green and blue is cyan and an equal mixture of blue and red is magenta. [ 1]: 4.2 Yellow, cyan and magenta are the secondary colors of the RGB model.

    In the RGB model, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. The complementary primary–secondary combinations are red – cyan, green – magenta, and blue – yellow. In the RGB color model, the light of two complementary colors, such as red and cyan, combined at full intensity, will make white light, since two complementary colors contain ...
