A basic understanding of color is needed to create new colors from Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Below is
a simplistic way of relating blended ink colors to the colors the inks come in (cyan, magenat, yellow). It
is somewhat over simplified, but it is a good way to remember the color relationships. There
are much more sophisticated methods for making ink colors using spectrophotometers and
densitometers, but we want to show you some manual methods for making colors that
do not require thousands of dollars worth of instrumentation.

Using the Color Circle -
When ever you are working with colors, use the above diagram as a simple reminder of the
relationships between the inks and the colors they output. View the chart like this...
The inks are in the center. The blended colors are on the outer ring.

Cyan and magenta make blue
Magenta and yellow make red
Yellow and cyan make green
Cyan + magenta + yellow = black
|
Magenta kills green
Yellow kills blue
Cyan kills red
White is no ink

If you want a red, blue or green, add the combinations of inks shown above.

THESE COLORS ALL ASSUME YOU ARE WORKING WITH A PURE WHITE BACKGROUND. IF THE BACKGROUND IS
YELLOW OR ORANGE, THEN YOU WILL GET DIFFERENT RESULTS.
