I learned that the CMYK color model for many ink based printers are that way because they are a subtractive color model.

When there is the white background of a page, the goal is to create colors that appear correct on that page. I learned that you get cyan when you subtract red light from white light one gets cyan, green subtracted from white light yields magenta, and so on, which is where the colors for this color space come from.
