Subtractive colors refer to the colors used in printing, where ink is applied to a white page. As more colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key) are applied, more of the visible spectrum is absorbed, resulting in a darker and duller color. This is different than additive colors (used in screens and lights) where colors are mixed to create a brighter and more vibrant color.
