When cyan, yellow, and magenta are mixed together, they absorb different wavelengths of light, which effectively blocks all color and appears black to the human eye. This combination is known as subtractive color mixing and is commonly used in printing to create a wide range of colors by varying the amounts of each ink.
Brown. Here's why. Green is a combination of yellow and cyan (aka blue). Red is close to magenta; it is magenta with a little yellow mixed in. Thus green + red is a combination of all three primary colors: magenta, yellow and cyan. The combination would thus lead to a brownish color, since browns are what you tend to get when you mix all three primary colors. Short primer. Magenta, yellow and cyan (blue) are primary colors. Orange is an equal mix of magenta and yellow. Green is an equal mix of yellow and cyan. Red is a mix of orange and magenta.
When yellow and magenta are mixed together, they form the color red. Yellow and magenta are subtractive primary colors that, when combined, absorb all wavelengths of light except for red, which is reflected back to our eyes, creating the perception of the color red.
When different spectral colors are mixed together, they can form new colors through a process called color blending. For example, mixing red and blue light creates magenta, mixing red and green light creates yellow, and mixing green and blue light creates cyan.
When colored lights are mixed, the colors produced depend on the colors of the lights being mixed. For example, combining red and green lights creates yellow light. Mixing red and blue lights results in magenta light, while green and blue lights combine to form cyan light.
The mineral pyrite has a brassy yellow color in its original form but a black or greenish-black color in its powdered form due to oxidation.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. These mix together to form other colours.

Inkjet printers use cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) to produce colors. These colors form through color subtraction, where different combinations of the base colors absorb different wavelengths of light to create a wide range of colors.
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.
Typically yellow, cyan (blue), black, and a form of red.
Any two complementary colors: Red and cyan Yellow and blue (not turquoise) Magenta and green Any two pure light primaries in pigment form: Red and green Red and blue Green and blue
No. Blue and green, as well as red, form the three primary colours in light. Blue is a colour in its own right.The Primary colours are Blue, Yellow and Red. Blue and Yellow make Green.(With paint the colours are blue, red and yellow, and in printing it's cyan, magenta and yellow).
When yellow and magenta are mixed together, they form the color red. Yellow and magenta are subtractive primary colors that, when combined, absorb all wavelengths of light except for red, which is reflected back to our eyes, creating the perception of the color red.
In addative form (where all the colors combined make white) Yes, along with Red and Blue. In subtractive form (whereas all the colors make brown or grey) no, but is formed by Yellowand Cyan, with the other color(s) being Magenta and sometimes Black.
CMYK is a colorspace used in printing on an inkjet printer or a printing press C - Cyan M - Magenta Y - Yellow K - Black, which uses the letter K because old-time printers called black "key." And for extra fun, where the pigments in traditional inks used to come from: K: Black ink is colored with carbon black. Ink used to be more expensive in the summertime because we got our carbon black from tire companies, they can only make so much of it and in the summer they were using most of it to make tires. An ink company finally decided to build a carbon black machine, and now ink is the same price all year round. M: Magenta pigment came from the scale of a little bug called "cochineal." C: The reason it's called CYAN is it was made out of CYANide gas. They bubbled hydrogen cyanide gas through water then up through glass tubes, and from there into ammonia that would neutralize it. The gas would deposit a blue material called Prussian Blue on the inside of the tubes. After enough was there, they would turn off the gas and wash out the tubes. Y: Yellow pigment was made out of lead. The pigment in the paint they use to put the yellow stripes on the road is still made out of lead. Now we use Azo dyes to get us to the same place, and you could almost put ink on bread and eat it.
an abbreviation for Red, Blue, Green which are the three basic components of light.Red and blue form magenta, red and green form yellow, and blue and green make cyan, a light turquoise. Red blue and green make white. Different shades of red blue and green, focused by the light can form billions of colors that are used for computers, televisions, games, and LCD products.
In short: CMYK is subtractive color mostly used in print, while RGB is additive color mostly used in display graphics.The name of the CMYK color model stands for Cyan (a pale blue) Magenta (a hot pink), Yellow, and Key (or black).The name of the RGB color model stands for Red, Green, and Blue.CMYK, or 'four color printing', is what is called a 'subtractive' color model, because it starts with white - such as paper - which is the combination of all colors, and filters of subtracts out those colors not wanted by the application of colored dyes or inks.Putting, for instance, a cyan lens in front of a white light, or cyan ink on a sheet of white paper, will prevent other wavelengths of light from passing through the lens or reflecting back from the paper. Using combinations of these ink colors in varying amounts will produce the various colors needed for a picture or graphic. Equal amounts of yellow and cyan, for instance, produce a standard, medium green.Key black is added to the four color printing process because the combination of cyan, magenta, and yellow in practice produce a 'black' that looks more like a dark muddy brown.RGB is called an 'additive' color model because it starts with the absence of light or color - black - as one would find in a television screen or computer monitor with no power, and adds light in colors as needed.As with CMYK (and other color models) the combination of these colors in varying amounts creates the secondary and tertiary colors desired for more complex images.See the links below for more exhaustive information on RGB and CMYK color models.
