I created this article simply separate to keep the article color from being over 32KB. However, it seems that color model is a separate re-direct to a different article. Any opinions on merging?? Georgia guy 19:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think that much of the information in this article belongs in the Color space article, and vise versa. But, no, I don't think they should be merged. -SharkD 15:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Color ratios

"The cyan ink will reflect all but the red light, the yellow ink will reflect all but the blue light and the magenta ink will reflect all but the green light. This is because cyan light is an equal mixture of green and blue, yellow is an equal mixture of red and green, and magenta light is an equal mixture of red and blue."

I'm not entirely sure this is correct... You need less green intensity for the same amount of brightness on a screen. I seem to remember when programming color values for text display, that the ratios aren't 1:1 for mixed colors such as yellow and magenta. Of course this could have been an artifact of how the video card is programmed or the screens work (cost reasons dictating phosphor choice).
