Cool. Do you know the actual CMYK values, or are you saying that everyone
ought to do that sampling on their own??

I'm assuming "CMYK" translates to something along the lines of
Blue,Red,Yellow,Black?
Or more appropriately "Cyan","Magenta","Yellow",K? (what the heck would K be?)


CMYK is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (subtractive color model vs RGB
additive color model).  CMY gives you a muddled gray/brown so K is added for
pure black.

Go to http://www.mundidesign.com/presentation/index2.html
and then option 2b, Color Theory for a nice presentation on the topic.  I
think his site require the Flash plug in.
