Like RGB, where the alphabets stand for color names Red, Green, and Blue, CMYK also has one color name representing each alphabet – in this case, the colors are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Do remember that CMYK has almost no use in a PowerPoint centric world, but you will often come across this terminology while receiving visual content for slides from other sources – so a little knowledge about CMYK can be very helpful.
