The RGB color model is an additive model in which red, green and blue (often used in additive light models) are combined in various ways to reproduce other colors.
CMYK is a subtractive color model used in color printing.This color model is based on mixing pigments of the following colors in order to make other colors:
C=cyan
M=magenta
Y=yellow
K=key (black). |
