RGB or CMYK? How do you know which colour model you should be using when it comes to graphic design?
In this video, you will learn the key differences between the two colour models and where you should be using them.

This has been so so helpful. I changed DTG printers because I didn't understand why my yellows were coming out greeny. I now get it.

It's so inspiring to hear about the color theory. I don't speak colors, but I could understand through the examples and start seeing the colors with new eyes. Thank you for your patience Col Gray. It's very helpful for us 'amateurs'!

Watched 5,6 videos. This is the best for logo design fundamentals. I have a question, logo should be designed in RGB or in CMYK?
@RockYourBrand
@RockYourBrand 4 жыл бұрын
If the logo will only ever be used on screen then you can create it in RGB. If the logo is to appear in print then you should create it in CMYK. If you create it in RGB and then want to print the logo you can run into problems when converting from RGB to CMYK.

Hi Shanika, If the design you are creating is to be printed, for example, a poster, a leaflet, a brochure etc, then you should create your artwork using the CMYK colour model. If you are creating something that will only ever be for digital use, for example, web page or social media graphics, then you can work with the RGB colour model. Just be aware that if you change artwork from the RGB colour model to CMYK, colours can shift as RGB is more vibrant than CMYK.

New designer here! This video was super informative, I appreciate it! I did have a question. I'm designing both logotype and logomark for a client who runs her online business. She plans on only printing stickers of her logo to add to her product as she ships them. Do you recommend still using CMYK or will RGB be okay for this project?
@RockYourBrand
@RockYourBrand 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Mayra, The stickers will most likely be printed using the CMYK printing process and so it would be best to have a version of the logo in CMYK :)

I have a few questions that I hope you answer I'm an illustrator, my problem is when I color and save my work in cmyk mode and then upload it to the freelancing website am working for, the colors just change and become very annoying, the question is how can I avoid that? And if the client just printed them anyway will they look that ugly?

Hi Rania, If you download the file and open it up in your software, do the colours look as they should, or are they showing as they did after you uploaded to the freelancing website? I know that when i save an image as CMYK and look at it in the preview panel of windows explorer, the colours can look way off. If I open the image up in my software though, the colours are correct. So, if you download one of the files and open it and the colours are okay, then the problem is to do with how the website is previewing CMYK images. if you download the file open it and the colours have been changed, then you need to find out from the website owner why that might be happening. Cheers, Col

Expanded Gamut? How does that compare to spot color?
@RockYourBrand

You'll get more colours from an expanded gamut compared to spot colour choices. However, Pantone has worked on this and now have an extended gamut colour book. www.pantone.com/extended-gamut-coated-guide

So, i think i got it but have a few more questions. CMYK is for T-shirt printing for example. And RGB is for television. Then what is CMYK+W? Would that bring out great colored shirts? Furthermore, a DTG machine does it print in RGB with really bright colors compared to digital heat fixed (DFX) printing machine? It's something like a DTF machine but no powder used? Whats better a DTG or DFX ? DFX has the CMYK+W. Thank you!

Hey Ozkan, I really can't comment on DTG printing as I don't have nay experience of it myself. As for CMYK+W, I would presume that with that, they are underpinning the CMYK with a white layer first so that the CMYK can get more vibrancy in the print. Very much required if you are printing on dark materials.

thanks buddy! I have always worked in RGB and today my ass got whipped because I did a poster in work and was soooooooooooooo different and I didn't understand why, but I put the blame on the printer shop to get out of it...

The poor printer! Well, at least you know now how different things can go when RGB artwork gets printed in CMYK. Hopefully no more printers will be blamed in future as you'll have got your artwork all sorted in advance 😎

2:44 But WHY doesn't CMYK render bright colors faithfully ? If cyan, magenta and yellow are the result of combining red, green and blue - then why do they not combine with each other to reproduce as much of the colour spectrum as red, green and blue ?
@RockYourBrand
@RockYourBrand 3 жыл бұрын
Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are not a result of combining Red, Green and Blue. They are different colour models. CMYK is a subtractive colour model and RGB is an additive colour model. They aren't compatible.

​ @Pixels Ink Just after looking up the physics of color here. Okay - if real pigments could be synthesized so that their color absorption was absolute across the visible spectrum bar the color reflected, then they would effectively be monochromatic beacons for that light color that they reflect. In this way, such "perfect" synthetic red, green and blue pigments would act like light sources and adjusting their proportions should give you a wide range of colors. But the real pigments available to us not only absorb colors unevenly across the visible spectrum, the also absorb some of the color that they reflect. The evenness of color absorption is worse with pure red, green and blue than with cyan, magenta and yellow. Hence we use pigments based on the latter set for getting a better range (gamut) of printed colors. Yet even with a cyan-magenta-yellow (CMY) system, we still have uneven color absorption and do not get anywhere near a full range of colors with this ink set. The really bright reds, oranges, yellows, blues, purples, etc can't be recreated in ink just with CMY based ink sets. Today there are printers *allegedly* with one, two or three more pigments (orange, green, blue) that cover a share of the brighter color range unachievable by CMYK printers. The degree of color satisfaction available with these CMYK+1/2/3 ink sets is not independently verified.
