CMYK or process color is the model used in print. I spent years doing print work and just find it easier to mix colors using that color model.
Each color is expressed as a % of Cyan C, Magenta M, Yellow Y, and Black K
White is 0,0,0,0
Red is 0,100,80,0 to 0,100,100,0
Greys are 0,0,0,1 to 99 or C,M & Y set to the same value from 1 to 99
Code: (Select All) Screen _NewImage(640, 480, 32)
Color _RGB32(0, 0, 0), _RGB32(255, 255, 255)
Cls
'a simple demo of the color values
Do
Print "Enter C,M,Y,K"
Input c, m, y, k
k& = cmyk~&(c, m, y, k)
Line (200, 200)-(400, 400), k&, BF
Loop Until c = -100
Function cmyk~& (c As Long, m As Long, y As Long, k As Long)
' CMYK process color Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black each expressed as a percent from 0 to 100
r = 255 * (100 - c)
r = (r / 100) * ((100 - k) / 100)
g = 255 * (100 - m)
g = (g / 100) * ((100 - k) / 100)
b = 255 * (100 - y)
b = (b / 100) * ((100 - k) / 100)
cmyk~& = _RGB32(r, g, b)
End Function

A few additional functions and subs for manipulating CMYK color.
Code: (Select All) Screen _NewImage(640, 480, 32)
Color _RGB32(0, 0, 0), _RGB32(255, 255, 255)
Cls
Print "Just a handful of examples, there are several functions and subs here to"
Print " manipulate and monitor CMYK colors"
Print "mixing colors CMYK(0,70,50,0) and CMYK(80,0,0,0)"
kl& = mix_cmyk~&(cmyk~&(0, 70, 50, 0), cmyk~&(80, 0, 0, 0))
Line (400, 50)-(450, 100), cmyk~&(0, 70, 50, 0), BF
Line (450, 50)-(500, 100), cmyk~&(80, 0, 0, 0), BF
Line (500, 50)-(600, 100), kl&, BF
Locate 10, 1: Print "Lighten and darken CMYK(50,50,0,0) by 25%"
kl& = cmyk~&(50, 50, 0, 0)
lk& = kl&: dk& = kl&
lighten_cmyk lk&, 25

Line (400, 200)-(500, 250), lk&, BF
Line (500, 200)-(600, 250), dk&, BF
Locate 18, 1: Print "Adding 60 to Yellow channel in each of those."
