This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use `Color.CMY` as a replacement.
## Description
Returns a `Color` based on the CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) color model and the specified level of transparency. Use the new form of the `Picture` constructor to create pictures that support the alpha channel or convert existing pictures to the new format using the code described in `HasAlphaChannel`.
## Usage
*result* = **CMY**(*cyan*, *magenta*, *yellow* \[, *alpha* = 0\])
| Part | Type | Description |
|---------|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| result | `Color` | An object that represents the color based on the *cyan*, *magenta*, and *yellow* values. |
| cyan | `Double` | The value of Cyan in the color (0-1). |
| magenta | `Double` | The value of Magenta in the color (0-1). |
| yellow | `Double` | The value of Yellow in the color (0-1). |
| alpha | `Integer` | The value of transparency in the color (0-255). Zero is completely opaque and 255 is transparent. If omitted, the default is 0 (no transparency). |
## Notes
The CMY function returns a `Color` based on the amounts of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and transparency passed. The color amounts are represented by `doubles` between 0 and 1 and are stored internally as three bytes. The level of transparency is an optional `Integer` from 0-255. If omitted, it defaults to completely opaque. You can also use either the `Color.RGB` or `Color.HSV` models to assign a color and you can also specify a color with the RGB model using the `&c` literal. All alternatives support the optional transparency parameter.
## Sample code
This code uses the CMY function to assign a `Color`. It is in the Paint event of a `Canvas` or a `Window`.
``` xojo
Rectangle1.FillColor = CMY(0.35, 0.9, 0.6)
```

The following code draws a color patch in a `Canvas` with 75% transparency. With the CMY function, the range is from 0 to 255. Zero is completely opaque and 255 is completely transparent. The code is in the `Paint` event.
``` xojo
g.ForeColor = CMY(0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 255 * 0.75) ' transparency = 75%
g.FillRect(0, 70, 200, 50)
g.ForeColor = CMY(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
g.DrawString("Translucent = 30%", 210, 80)
```
