The CMYK is given to tell people what the CMYK value is.
If you want to print with it because it is better for printing, then use that.
The values listed are for color the actual plastic.
The point is that the colors are given in a variety of formats for a variety of
purposes... up to the user to choose which one to use.


The way to test this is to do the translation between CMYK and RGB.  If the
numbers in the table convert more or less exactly, then we know it's just a
simple translation.  If they don't match, then it's likely the CMYK values have
been ajusted for printing.

Unfortunately I don't have a good enough graphics program available to test this
out myself.  The few I have only have RGB and HSV.
