Color Modes
Why do my colors look different on my monitor than
they do when I print the file?
The best way to see the color differences between the
CMYK and RGB color spaces is to distinguish them for yourself
in the color gamut comparison chart. The color chart
shows the visible color spectrum; within this is
a plot of the CMYK, RGB, and Pantone colors. As you can
tell, not all colors can be duplicated with CMYK, RGB,
or Pantone colors that we see with our eyes.
Print colors (CMYK) cannot cover the same range of the
visible spectrum that the RGB color space can describe.
For this reason, color is different on your monitor from the same file
printed.
