CMYK or RGB color scheme

Colors around us we see it every day so as a designer you have to know what are they and what type of colors you have to use in your designs.

Let us explain each of them to know the difference and when to use it:

RGB:

R = red
G = green
B = blue

This color system is used in images depicted by the mobile phone or camera and displayed on screens in general and with shapes and texts in all programs and applications, and for printing billboards and stands, also used for designing web pages, and designing videos.

CMYK:

C = cyan (we use it as blue color)
M = magenta (we use it as red color)
Y = yellow
K = black

This system is used for images, text, and shapes that will be printed on books and magazines.

Pantone: a color system for a particular print is a catalog with fixed shades that do not change from one screen to another, which we will explain in other publications in detail.

Each system has its use in the field of design in general, these systems need the designer to have a simple knowledge of the principles of design in the beginning and then study it because it is one of the basics of design and printing.
