The word used in the printing industry and photography is Key, but thinkof
it as the K in blacK.  The B was already taken by Blue, so they used K for
Key/blacK.  Now if someone wants to remind me what the origin of the word
"Key" for "Black" is, the whole thing might make a little more sense. :)

(hence "high key" and "low key" photos)
