Colour
The CMYK colour model is used in the printing process. RGB is made up of red, green and blue. It is used on the computer monitor and is mainly used for website design. RGB can only be viewed with natural or produced light not on a printed page. This is why RGB should only be used for internet and screen use. RGB is back lit and can be used for tv.
CMYK is best for for printing. When two colours are mixed equally they produce the colours of the CMYK model, known as subtractive primaries. Green and blue creates cyan ( c ), Red and blue creates magenta ( m) and red and green creates yellow ( y). black is shown as K. CMYK produces white light.
