How to use color
Good sources of color information are the manuals that came with your
application software package. Applications specify color in different ways,
for example as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) or RGB (red, green
and blue), or they may give you a choice. Get to know your software so you
can get the most out of it.
