rainbow(2) gives two RGB-colours: #FF0000 (=pure red) and #00FFFF (=pure
cyan).
So it should be no problem to match two_c[2] perfect in CMYK-colourspace
However after some testing.
I totally agree that CMYK handling in R using pdf(..., colormodel = "cmyk")
is not correct.
One solution:
Output in tiff or png instead and then convert to CMYK using external tools.
Try this:
png("plot.png")
plot(runif(10), runif(10), col = ""#00FFFF") # cyan
dev.off()
And then convert plot.png using:
