CMYK vs. RGB

(Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space and the

system for capturing and displaying color images electronically. *All TV, computer and electronic display screens create color by generating red, green and blue (RGB) lights. This is because our eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue, and our brain mixes the colors together.

(Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK) The color space used for

commercial printing and most color computer printers. In theory, cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) can print all colors, but inks are not pure and black comes out muddy. The black ink (K) is required for quality printing.
