RGB and CMYK are color mixing modes in graphic design. In short, RGB is best for digital work – the ones you see on your screen and CMYK for print products. However, it’s essential to fully understand the mechanics behind each to optimize your designs and understand why the colors you see on you screen and the print colors on the product don’t always match.

The main reason printing company recommend file in CMYK is printers print in CMYK – so setting up the files in CMYK will ensure that the output are as close as possible to the colours expected by our customers. There are several reason CMYK files are more consistent when printed. Firstly, the colour on the screen will be reproduced more accurately. Secondly, print with CMYK inks is monitored regularly to ensure that prints today should match prints after months.

What is RGB?

RGB means Red, Green and  Blue which is the color spade for digital images. An RGB file consist in composite layers of Red, Green and Blue, each being coded on 256 levels from 0 to 255. RGB has a larger ‘Colour gamut’ than CMYK. This colour mode is great for designing digital pages. Designers can control aspects like saturation, vibrancy and shading by modifying any of the three source colors.

What is CMYK?

CMYK means Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, where Cyan, Magenta, Yellow are the primary colours. A printing machine creates images by combining CMYK colors to varying degrees with physical ink. This is known as subtractive mixing. All colors start as blank white, and each layer of ink reduces the initial brightness to create the preferred color. When all colors are mixed together, they create pure black.
