look at color print on newspaper or magazine, get a magnifying glass ans look real close. You will see most likely colored dots a process using CMYK(Cyan Magenta Yellow and blacK) inks. This 4 color process can basically make any non white color, and if you print on white paper then everything is good. Technology has advanced enough where we know how far apart to put those 4 dots from each other to achieve every color. You may ask why Cyan and magenta and not the primary colors like blue and red,? This basically comes down to the amount of color used to achieve a different color.
