Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.
Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.
Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.
Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

ACEScc is part of the ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) workflow, developed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to provide a standardized color management framework for the motion picture production, post-production, and archival industries. It is specifically designed for color grading and correction processes.
ACEScc, stands for Academy Color Encoding System - Color Correction.
In the ACEScc color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, specifically designed for high dynamic range and wide color gamut imagery.
ACEScc is primarily used in color grading and correction for film and video, especially in professional post-production environments.
ACEScc provides film and video professionals with a unified and consistent approach to handling color, particularly when transferring and matching colors across different cameras, formats, and display devices.
