What is Cyan?

solid cyan color

Cyan is the “C” in CMYK, which refers to the four colors of ink in four-color process printing. CMYK is a subtractive color model.

In the subtractive model, cyan is one of the primary colors, along with magenta and yellow. These three colors are used as the basis for creating a wide range of colors by subtracting specific wavelengths of light from white light. The fourth process color, “K” or black, is added in process printing to create contrast and depth.
