How to Convert RGB to CYM

RGB stand for red, green and blue. CMY, or CMYK, stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key. RGB is a color spectrum that is designed for use on computers and electronic displays, while CMYK is another color spectrum that is used for printing on physical objects. The RGB spectrum contains colors that can be displayed on a digital screen but cannot be printed, so these colors must be converted to printable colors. Conversion between the two is often neccessary when you are sending a digital picture or design to a professional printer.
