CMYK
A subtractive color model that uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, or process colors,
used in color printing; a color model used in the printing of colors in four-color process
printing.
color channel
A single-color image that can be edited separately from the other color channels
comprising a color space—for example, the red channel of an RGB image.

color separation
The process of separating a color image into the color components for printing—cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black. Also used to refer to the four sheets of film that result from
the process of separating a color image.
color space
A model for representing color in terms of measurable values, such as the amount of red,
green, and blue in an image. RGB and CMYK color spaces correspond to color devices—
monitors and printers, respectively. Other color spaces, such as CIE Lab, are based on
mathematical models and are device-independent (that is, not based on the color
response of a particular device). See gamut.
colorant
An ink, dye, toner, paint, or other pigment that modifies the color of media to which it is
applied.
