The color cyan in percentages

If you're identifying color for pretty much anything digital, you're working in an RGB colorspace. If the project you're working on requires percentage representation, cyan is made of 0% red, 100% green, and 100% blue.

If you're identifying color for a print project, you're most likely using a CMYK colorspace—the percentages are 100% cyan, 0% magenta, 0% yellow, 0% black.
