I want to use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black as the table colors because those are the colors that are used to print (CMYK). They're the 4C's in the name.
However, I see the utility of using simpler names such as Blue, Red, Yellow, and Black.
Question: Should I go CMYK or BRYB, and if I go with BRYB, should I use *real* blue and red or should I use CM anyway. For reverence, I've included a strip of the colors so everyone can see (top CMYK, bottom BRYB).
Thanks!

From a graphics design standpoint I would go with the BRYB, but I prefer the CMYK because it reminds me of CGA graphics.
Hrm... didn't think of the correlation with CGA graphics. Thanks!
It wouldn't make any difference to me as a consumer, so I would say go with what speaks to you.
If they are going to be the background colours on a table, I would do some tests with text over the colours and see which are easier to read at the font size etc you intend to use.
Another good point. I'll work on that today.
