On the monitor, the colors do not add up the same way as they do in print. One can't, for example, create a color that is 50% cyan, 20% magenta, 10% yellow, and 5% black by using RGB colors. One has to create an entirely new color consisting of the RGB equivalents of the CMYK colors. This can be done using a photo editing program such as PhotoShop: the colors can be set using the CMYK color scheme, and then converted to RGB colors.
