This is an alternate color scheme to the RGB color scheme. Combinations of the colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black are used to represent colors. The CMYK scheme is used mainly in print, such as magazines. Combining cyan, magenta and yellow produces black, but that black is not always pure enough, thus, the addition of the K, for pure black. Color inkjet printers use CMYK to represent images. Subtractive color model: example, subtract red from white light only green and blue reflect which we see as cyan. If 100% CMY are combined, black is perceived. See also RGB.
