Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

CMYK color model is a subtractive color model, based on the CMY color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. CMYK refers to the four ink plates used in some color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key

RGB color model is an additive color model in which the red, green, and blue primary colors of light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.

Answer: This is what they are...

RGB stands for... Red, Green, and Blue

CMYK stands for... Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black

Step-by-step explanation:

- RGB is an additive color model, while CMYK is subtractive. RGB uses white as a combination of all primary colors and black in the absence of light. CMYK, on the other hand, uses white as the natural color of the print background and black as a combination of colored inks.

- If you combine RGB colors then they all create the color white, meanwhile, CMYK makes the color black instead.
