Color Matching

Choosing a Method

RGB or CMYK?

The guidelines for choosing a color matching method make distinctions between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK).

Generally, most documents you print are in RGB format. This is the most common, and, if you do not know your document’s color mode, assume that it is RGB.

Typically, CMYK documents are only supported in professional Desktop Publishing and Graphics applications.
