RGB vs CMYK & Color Profiles 2026: When, Why and How — article illustration

RGB is for screens. CMYK is for print. Mixing them causes color surprises.

Why profiles matter

Profiles define how colors are interpreted. Without the correct profile, the same color values can look different across devices and paper.
