The cyan, magenta, and yellow primary colors associated with CMYK printing are sometimes known as "process blue", "process red" and "process yellow". RYB color model RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellow–blue) is a historical set of colors used in subtractive color mixing and is one commonly used set of primary colors.

Spot-color inks range from subtle pastels to intense fluorescents to reflective metallics. Color printing involves a
