1. C O L O R S PRINT VS MULTIMEDIA

2. Main Difference Print –Primary Colors CMYK Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black - Subtractive Color system –Add together = black Multimedia –Primary Colors RGB Red, Green, Blue –Additive Color system –Add together = white

3. CYMK Subtractive Color Color system in which cyan, magenta, and yellow are subtracted from white to produce other colors. Magenta Reddish - purple color which reflects blue and red while absorbing green. Cyan A greenish - blue color, absorbing red light and reflecting green and blue light. Yellow A subtractive color which reflects green and red while absorbing blue.

4. Additive Color System Refers to the combination in varying proportions of red, green, and blue light to create the colors of the palette. See font selection in PPT for example. (more colors – custom)

5. Summary Warning: Mixing colors in HTML is directly opposite from mixing colors with paint. Low amounts of color make dark shade; high amounts of color make bright shades. With HTML, you are mixing light, not paint.Warning: Mixing colors in HTML is directly opposite from mixing colors with paint.

6. More info There is a fundamental difference between color and pigment. Color represents energy radiated by a luminous object such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) or a light-emitting diode (LED).CRTLED Primary colors : red (R), green (G), and blue (B). When you see a red area on a CRT, it looks red because it radiates a large amount of light in the red portion of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum (around 750 nanometers), and much less at other wavelength.electromagnetic radiation spectrum

7. More info Pigments, as opposed to colors, represent energy that is not absorbed by a substance such as ink or paint. The primary pigments are cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y). Sometimes black (K) is also considered a primary pigment, although black can be obtained by combining pure cyan, magenta, and yellow in equal and large amounts. When you see yellow ink on a page, it looks yellow because it absorbs most energy at all visible wavelengths except in the yellow portion of the spectrum (around 600 nanometers), where most of the energy is reflected.
