Choosing a Color Matching Method
RGB or CMYK?
The RGB color model is based on the three primary colors of
light; Red, Green and Blue. This model is used by scanners,
digital cameras and computer monitors.
The CMYK color model is based on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and
Black printer inks or toners.
Most documents you print are in RGB format. This is the most
common method. If you do not know your document’s color
mode, assume that it is RGB.
CMYK documents are typically only supported in professional
Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.
