In the acronym CMYK: C=Cyan, M=Magenta and Y=Yellow. So why is Black represented by K not B?
according wikipedia :
The black is referred to as K for key – a shorthand for the printing term key plate. This plate impressed the artistic detail of an image, usually in black ink.
this seems to be the correct explanation.
an other widely spread explanation is that K stands for blacK.
b could be confused with blue.
In french the accronym has the last letter N like Noir (black) , in german they use the Englisch accronym by giving the K as Kontrast
