like if you wanted to mix paint to get a color from a computer would you do the opposite of what the RGB value is? I’m confused
like if I wanted to take the RBG code R:99, G: 66, B, 33 wouldn’t it look more lightful than if I mixed paint into 1 part blue, 2 part green, 3 part red? how would you paint a color code?
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key) is for pigments. RGB is for light.
Factoids.
RGB is additive color, best for light emitting displays such as your phone or computer screen.
CMY(K) is subtractive color, the opposite/negative of RGB.
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK) are used as standard printing colors, because they don’t emit light, they reflect whatever light that they don’t absorb.
Misinformation and confidently incorrect.
Print is always subtractive. Why don’t you look shit up before posting bullshit?
… because they don’t emit light
As opposed to the posters and paintings that shine, huh?
Yes, I said CMYK print is subtractive, did you read my comment?
You’re close to getting it. You said RGB is additive. Where in print is RGB additive?
Hey dude, is everything okay? It’s just the Internet and just a discussion about printing and colours.
Yeah, thanks for asking. You’re okay with misinformation :)?
As opposed to the posters and paintings that shine, huh?
Wtf are you on about? Those are all like print in that they mix pigments that absorb light. That’s exactly what over_clox said. The contrast is with monitors or displays that emit light, like phones or computer screens.
They’re all subtractive in print.
The person said RGB is additive. Where in print is RGB additive?
Educate yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model
Right back atcha bro en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_printing
From that article:
Graphic screen-printing is widely used today to create mass- or large-batch produced graphics, such as posters or display stands. Full colour prints can be created by printing in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).
It’s still subtractive.
Exactly. Print is always subtractive.
You don’t use rgb in print.
Oh really?
