- kube-system 2y agoCMYK is a representation ratios of unspecific dyes, on an unknown medium.
- xanderlewis 2y agoAh — true. I thought the dyes used for each colour would be fairly standard, though.
- sandworm101 2y agoDyes are not like light. Mix any three, regardless of ratio, and you basically always get brown. That's why paint stores carry so many colors.
- kube-system 2y agoThey're close, if we're just talking about printer ink. But if you're coloring some other item, you might be using entirely different materials.
