CMYK vs RGB
When it comes to creating vibrant designs, color is everything. But did you know that the colors you see on your screen may look different when printed? That’s because printers and screens use two different color models: CMYK and RGB. Let’s break down these two color models to understand how they work and why it matters for your print projects.
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black), and it’s the color model used by printers. These four colors are combined in various percentages to produce a wide range of colors on paper. The magic happens when these colors mix together in tiny dots, which is why print colors can look a bit different from what you see on screen.
On the other hand, RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue, and it’s the color model used by screens, like your computer monitor or phone. RGB works by emitting light in different combinations of red, green, and blue to create colors. The more light these colors mix, the brighter the display, which is why digital images are so vibrant and colorful.
The difference between CMYK and RGB is why your designs may look great on your screen but don’t always match the printed version. RGB has a much wider color range, which means it can display more colors, while CMYK is more limited due to the nature of ink mixing. As a result, some colors may appear duller in print.
When preparing a design for print, always convert your file from RGB to CMYK to get a more accurate preview of how the colors will appear in print. This simple step can save you from color surprises and help ensure your final print job matches your digital vision.
