Incolor printing, the shade of cyan calledprocess cyan orpigment cyan is one of the three primary pigment colors which, along withyellow andmagenta, constitute the threesubtractive primary colors of pigment. (The secondary colors of pigment are blue, green and red.) As such, theCMYK printing process was invented in the 1890s, when newspapers began to publish colorcomic strips.

Process cyan is not anRGB color, and there is no fixed conversion from CMYK primaries to RGB. Different formulations are used for printer's ink, so there can be variations in the printed color that is pure cyan ink. A typical formulation ofprocess cyan is shown in the color box adjacent. The source of the color shown adjacent is the color cyan that is shown in the diagram located at the bottom of the tintbooks for CMYK printing.^[3]

Verdigris is the common name for agreenpigment obtained through the application ofacetic acid tocopper plates^[35] or the naturalpatina formed when copper,brass orbronze is weathered and exposed to air or seawater over a period of time. The nameverdigris comes from theMiddle Englishvertegrez, from theOld Frenchverte grez, an alteration ofvert-de-Grèce ("green ofGreece"). Used as a pigment in paintings and other art objects (as green color) since ancient Greece, it was originally made by hanging copper plates over hot vinegar in a sealed pot until a green crust formed on the copper. The vivid green color of copper(II) acetate made this form of verdigris a much usedpigment. Until the 19th century, verdigris was the most vibrant green pigment available and was frequently used in painting. Verdigris was sometimes used to illustrate cyan colors in early color wheels.^[36]
