standard color targets.
CMYK
Cyan, magenta, yellow and black, the basic colors used in print-
ing processes. CMY are the primary colors of the subtractive color
model.
colorimeter
A light-sensitive device for measuring colors by filtering their
red, green and blue components, as in the human eye. See also
spectrophotometer.
color balance
In a subtractive color model, the amount of cyan, magenta, and
yellow printing that is needed to produce a good reproduction
with gray balance and satisfactory overprint colors.
color cast
An original, an image, or a reproduction has a color cast when
its overall appearance inaccurately tends to one hue. Especially
in the case of transparent originals, a color cast can impede
good reproduction.
color correction
The adjustment of color to obtain an accurate image. Color cor-
rection may be necessary because of the impurities of process
inks, imperfections of color separations, or because of a color
cast.
