CMYK
Short for Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black, and pronounced as separate letters. CMYK is a color model in which all colors are 
described as a mixture of these four process colors. CMYK is the standard color model used in offset printing for 
full-color documents. Because such printing uses inks of these four basic colors, it is often called four-color 
printing. In contrast, display devices generally use a different color model called RGB, which stands for 
Red-Green-Blue. One of the most difficult aspects of desktop publishing in color is color matching -- properly 
converting the RGB colors into CMYK colors so that what gets printed looks the same as what appears on the monitor.
