CMY Color Model Explained - How Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow Create Colors #66548 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram visualizes the subtractive CMY color model, fundamental to color printing. The three primary ink colors-cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y)-overlap to create secondary colors: red (M+Y), green (C+Y), and blue (C+M); their full intersection yields black (K), representing total light absorption. The model contrasts with additive RGB used in digital displays.
