To further this, this is why your monitor uses RGB, but printers use CMY (+K but technically you could get away with just CMY) Cyan absorbs red light, only reflecting red and green, magenta absorbs green light, only reflecting red and blue, and I’m sure you can guess what yellow absorbs. Your monitor on the other hand isn’t reflecting exterior light, it’s creating its own.
