The CMYK color model (also known as process color, or four color) is a subtractive color model, based on the CMY color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. The abbreviation CMYK refers to the four ink plates used: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (most often black).
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 ...

A color picker (also color chooser or color tool) is a graphical user interface widget, usually found within graphics software or online, used to select colors and, in some cases, to create color schemes (the color picker might be more sophisticated than the palette included with the program).
CIELAB is an option in Digital Color Meter on macOS described as "L*a*b*". CIELAB is available in the RawTherapee photo editor, where it is called the "Lab color space". [20] CIELAB is used by GIMP for the hue-chroma adjustment filter, fuzzy-select and paint-bucket. There is also a LCh(ab) color picker. [21]
The draft CSS Color 5 [27] specification introduces syntax for mixing and manipulating existing colors, including: A color-mix() function for mixing colors; Relative color syntax for manipulating components of an existing color; Custom color spaces are also supported via ICC profiles. This allows the use of CMYK on web pages. [27]
A "color model" is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers (e.g. triples in RGB or quadruples in CMYK); however, a color model with no associated mapping function to an absolute color space is a more or less arbitrary color system with no connection to any globally understood system of ...
In colorimetry, the Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three properties of color: hue (basic color), value , and chroma (color intensity). It was created by Albert H. Munsell in the first decade of the 20th century and adopted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as the official color system ...
The prior version had colors reasonably resembling CMYK process ink colors. The later version has additive 100% mixtures of R, G, B which are quite incorrect 17:34, 26 May 2007
