I just bought this book "Process Color Manual – 24,000 CMYK Combinations", which is a reference book of CMYK swatches. I’m sending something to a professional printer, and want the colors to be close to exact.

Anyways, I checked out a few colors that I know what they’re supposed to look like. I looked up the 2-color combination of 100% cyan, 100% yellow, and the swatch looked very green. The 100% magenta, 100% yellow swatch looked very red. But the 100% cyan and 100% magenta swatch did not look blue, it looked like a darker purple. Why is that? Shouldn’t 100% cyan and 100% magenta be a pure blue?
