For SUBTRACTIVE coloration, as in printing, the beginning color of the paper is white, reflecting all the colors of white light. To create colors, dyes are applied which absorb some of the light, so that the reflected color is no longer white. In art, and formerly in printing, the three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow, which can combine to form the other, non-primary colors such as orange, green, and violet. The colors now used for printing are cyan, magenta, yellow and black (absorbs all light, to save ink). The acronym CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These colors of inks are used in computer printers. Combinations of these basic colors produce a vast array of printed shades.
