cyanfarve

Cyanfarve is a term that refers to the color cyan. Cyan is one of the primary colors in the subtractive color model, alongside magenta and yellow. These three colors, along with black (CMYK), are commonly used in printing processes. In the additive color model, used for displays like televisions and computer monitors, cyan is produced by combining blue and green light.

The color cyan is often described as a greenish-blue or a bright blue with a hint of green. It falls between blue and green on the visible spectrum. Historically, cyan has been associated with water and sky due to its resemblance to these natural elements. In art and design, cyan is a versatile color that can evoke feelings of calmness, refreshment, and modernity. Its use in printing allows for a wide range of colors to be reproduced by mixing cyan with magenta and yellow. The term "cyanfarve" is a direct translation from Scandinavian languages, meaning "cyan color." It is less commonly used in English-speaking contexts compared to simply "cyan."
