JOUR 250 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Cyan, Cmyk Color Model, Primary Color
Document Summary
The higher the frequency, the more refraction (or bending). Thus, white light is separated into the color spectrum seen coming out the other end. White is detected when all colors are reflected from an object. Black is detected when all of the colors are absorbed into an object. printed colors: subtractive. Printing presses can reproduce thousands or millions of colors in newspapers, magazines, books and other paper-based publications. Reproducing full-color images is called "four color process" or "process printing. " Different values of four colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black (cmyk) are used to produce every color in the visual spectrum. Cyan, magenta and yellow are secondary subtractive colors. When two of them overlap on paper, a primary color is created. Offset presses produce full color by separating the cyan, magenta, yellow and black color values onto plates that transfer ink to paper. projected colors: additive. Each color of the spectrum has a specific frequency.
