The colors that you see on a computer screen are reproduced from the three basic colors red, green and blue. The 3 primary colors of light, which are red, green and blue, can be combined to give white (additive color mixing).
The three primary colors of light and color are thus in a complementary color relationship. The red in light and cyan in color, green in light and magenta in color, and blue in light and yellow in color complement one another.
In the case of a printer, it is not possible to change the intensity of toner colors. Because of this, a much larger number of dots are used compared to a computer display, and various colors are reproduced by adding K (black) to the C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow).
