What is RGB?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Basically, when referring to the RGB code<\/strong> (Red-Green-Blue)<\/strong> we are talking about a model based on “additive synthesis<\/strong>In other words, we superimpose colors to obtain the desired color, and the complete superimposition of the three previous colors gives us as a result the color white while black would be the absence of them (as when we turn off the light in a room and we are left in the dark).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is CMYK?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the CMYK<\/strong> (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black)<\/strong> model refers to a subtractive code.<\/strong> Thus, unlike the previous system, the absence of each color results in white (instead of black).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image below will help you to see the difference<\/strong> more clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RGB model<\/strong> is the one used to reproduce files on luminous screens<\/strong> (TV, computers, tablets, cell phones, etc.) while CMYK<\/strong> is the one used for printing on various media<\/strong>; from paper to any other available on the market, whether flexible<\/u><\/a> or rigid<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why the “colors<\/strong>” that can be seen<\/strong> on a computer screen sometimes do not coincide with the colors of a printout, without implying a lack of professionalism on the part of the printer. They are simply different systems with different color depths.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of working in the correct format<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it is very important to work <\/strong>with the appropriate system <\/strong>for where the file is to be reproduced and, of course, do not mix in a file that is going to be printed, images or text in RGB and CMYK <\/strong>because it is most likely that the final result is not as expected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
