Color.CMYKCyan

Property CMYKCyan As Long

Description

Member of Color

The CMYKCyan property returns or specifies the cyan color value for the CMYK color model in CorelDRAW. A color is an effect applied to an object that alters the object’s appearance by the way it reflects light. A color model is a system that defines the number and type of colors that make up an image and that is used to organize and define colors according to a set of basic properties that can be reproduced. Black-and-white, grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and paletted are examples of popular color modes.

CMYK is a color mode made up of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K). In the CMYK color mode, color values are expressed as percentages, so a value of 100 for an ink means that it is applied at full saturation. Used in most full-color commercial printing, CMYK is like CMY, but the addition of black (K) allows for true blacks and a wider tonal range. The CMYK color mode is based on the CMYK color model.

VBA example

The following VBA example deletes the object if the CMYK color model’s cyan component value is greater than 50.

Sub Test()
 Dim s As Shape
 Set s = ActiveSelection.Shapes(1)
 If s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKCyan > 50 Then
  s.Delete
 End If
End Sub
