  2. Color mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing

    The CMYK model adds a black primary to improve the darkness of blacks, where the CMY model can only mix to dark gray or only achieves black inefficiently, i.e. by using lots of the primary pigments. In the CMY model, an equal mixture of cyan and magenta is blue, an equal mixture of magenta and yellow is red and an equal mixture of yellow and ...

  3. CMYK color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

    The CMYK color model (also known as process color, or four color) is a subtractive color model, based on the CMY color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. The abbreviation CMYK refers to the four ink plates used: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (most often black).

  4. Additive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color

    The combination of two of the common three additive primary colors in equal proportions produces an additive secondary colorcyan, magenta or yellow. Additive color is also used to predict colors from overlapping projected colored lights often used in theatrical lighting for plays, concerts, circus shows, and night clubs. [3]

  5. List of colors by shade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors_by_shade

    Magenta is variously defined as a purplish-red, reddish-purple, or a mauvish–crimson color. On color wheels of the RGB and CMY color models, it is located midway between red and blue, opposite green. Complements of magenta are evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 500–530 nm.

  6. Shades of magenta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_magenta

    Cyan, magenta and black and yellow are the three subtractive primary colors used in printing. In color printing, the color called process magenta or pigment magenta is one of the three primary pigment colors which, along with yellow and cyan, constitute the three subtractive primary colors of pigment. (The secondary colors of pigment are blue ...

  7. Secondary color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color

    Primary colors of the CMY color model: cyan, magenta, and yellow, mixed to form secondary colors red, green, and blue. The RGB color model is an additive mixing model, used to estimate the mixing of colored light, with primary colors red, green, and blue. The secondary colors are yellow, cyan and magenta as demonstrated here:

  8. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    In the CMYK color model, the primary colors magenta, cyan, and yellow together make black, and the complementary pairs are magenta–green, yellow–blue, and cyan–red. Color printing, like painting, also uses subtractive colors, but the complementary colors are different from those used in painting. As a result, the same logic applies as to ...

  9. Magenta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magenta

    If magenta, cyan, and yellow are printed on top of each other on a page, they make black. In this model, magenta is the complementary color of green. If combined, green and magenta ink will look dark brown or black. The magenta used in color printing, sometimes called process magenta, is a darker shade than the color used on computer screens.
