Why do printers have CMYK ink instead of RYB & black ink?
In: 2442
Because RYB are really the primary colors. It’s cyan, magenta, and yellow. Pigments add together differently than if you were to just partiotion the color wheel. When teaching about colors to kids though, it’s easier just to say red blue and yellow, since those are the colors of the rainbow that they learn. Usually you use paint to mix colors together with, but with printing it’s laying colors on top of each other so the wavelengths of light that are reflected are added together to create another combined color. This is how you might combine colors of light to create other colors, such as on a stage for theater.
