Exactly. Hopefully, the days of "let's build a website because we need an
Internet presence" is over.

Viewed from that POV, for example, gray is a shade of black. But it's also a
shade of white. And, for example, 30% 'gray' is 77% Red/Green/Blue. And it's
also 70C/70M/70Y/0 Black. And, if you're using an intaglio press, a specific
concentration of monochromatic dots providing the illusion of a shade. If
you're printing on an RGB inkjet printer or printing banknotes, it's no use
talking about CMYK values.

It's time to get down to business.

Best,

Ziya
