Do you use RGB or CYMK to make designs

I am a kinda person who loves things to be appealing and sharp to my eyes. I guess I have make known already of which color pallette I love using when starting graphics design.

The fact is just simple, if you want to print out your designs, probably your work should go with CYMK expecting true color printing as most printers are using this as default palette.

Difference between both us just that RGB is more appealing and makes you design sharp and bright while on contrary CYMK makes it dull and cool.

While starting graphics design, do you use RGB or CYMK pallette to make your design?

I know RGB and Hex decimal values but never heard of CYMK. And I always use Hex values for colors because I find it very easy. It is very rare that I see on any website colors written in RGB format. I do see rgba if opacity is required.

I use RGB because my designs are primarily designed for the Internet and screens.

If I was doing print design, I would switch color schemas and do multiple test prints to check the color.

It's great that you're comfortable with Hex values! While RGB is commonly used in web design, CMYK is primarily for print. Hexadecimal simplifies color representation online, and rgba provides flexibility with transparency. Stick to what works for you, and feel free to explore other formats as needed.

Wow that's cool, it's a thoughtful approach! RGB is ideal for digital designs and screens, offering vibrant colors.

Isn't all of this same? All rgb values can be written as hex decimal values and vice versa. I can't speak of CMYK.

Photoshop uses different color schemas deppending on who knows what.

They are all the same and can be written vice versa.
