What is the difference between CMYK and RGB?

CMYK is a color model that makes all colors from combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. It is what a press uses to make a color. Different percentages of these four colors in combination with each other make different pigments of color to use for printing. RGB (an acronym for red-green-blue) is a color model in which a given color is specified by relative amounts of the three primary colors. CMYK colors are actual pigments of color whereas RGB colors are actually made up of streams of light (similar to a light spectrum). Therefore, we cannot print using colors that are RGB, only CMYK.
