A fun day here in the land of cyan

i like cyan

and NO THATS NOT BLUE.

IT'S CYAN. that's it's name.

cyan.

I don't call you bob... unless you were bob.
(hi bob)

it has a name it's called cyan.

I had a little debate over color names and primary colors while walkin at 2 in the morning on saturday. We talked about light vs ink specturms and what colors are what. Ya just don't do that with a printer.

so today is a cyan day.

facts that you don't really care about but I'm gonna tell you anyway:

all press inks (execpt for premixed pantone spot inks) are actually transparent pigments.
Press inks are not really ink but a gel.

the "perfect blue" is not cyan alone but has a mix of 72 percent magenta and around 7 percent black.

I love that.

cyan isnt blue until you add magenta and black

why?

because cyan is needs help to be what it was ment to be.

magenta is not red.
magenta knows that.
:)
magenta also knows that if it wants to be red it needs 100 percent help from yellow.

they all need help from each other to make perfect colors, that's the way they were made. They were made to be printed on top of each other (not mixed like popular belief). They were made transparent so the others could show through them while adding what they can in the process. All colors are there for each other to put forth the best possible colors; colors that wouldn't of been able to be made without each other.

Best part is that they need a light to shine through them in order to be used in the first place. without the light from another source there would be no point. They need that light til it becomes their purpose to help each other to reflect that light in ways that can't be done by thenselves.

today is a cyan day. I know I need help to be the blue I wanna be (it's my favorite color ya know). And that's what friends are for. If I'm crusing at an altitude of 30 thousand feet, or driving the way way long way home on purpose. Thank you guys for laying your color on top of mine.
