Cyan is the name of any of a number of colors. One definition is a color made by mixing equal amounts of s absorb red light. Cyan is sometimes called blue-green or Turquoise and often goes undistinguished from light blue. Cyan is often referred to as "Electric Blue".

Cyan is also one of the common inks used in Four-color Printing , along with Magenta , Yellow , and Black ; this set of colors is referred to as CMYK .

Note that while both of these colors are called ''cyan'' they are actually substantially different from one another. Cyan printing ink is much less vivid--indeed, CMYK printing technology cannot accurately reproduce pure cyan as described above (100% blue + 100% green) on Paper .
