CMYK

I was just exploring this shot in CMYK, short for Cyan (blue) - Magenta (red) - Yellow - Black (the key plate or keyline color) and pronounced as separate letters.

 

CMYK is a color model in which all colors are described as a mixture of these four process colors. Its is the standard color model used in offset printing for full-color documents. Because such printing uses inks of these four basic colors, it is often called four-color printing.

The four inks are placed on the paper in layers of dots that combine to create the illusion of many more colors..
