I suspect you mean CMYB a.k.a. CMYK.  This refers to the colour model
used in the "four colour" printing process.  It stands for Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow and Black.  Closely related to the CMY model which is the subtractive
primary system so called because adding more "stuff," in most cases paint,
will subtract with maximum added giving black or no colour.  This is in
contrast to the additive system of RGB or Red, Green and Blue where the more
"stuff," e.g. light from guns onto a phosphor tube, the more colour you
have with a maximum of white.
