Re: [PRODIG] Why is K black?

[Jeff Smith]

I don't think its quite that scientific. As I understand it, most 
printers use cyan  / magenta interchangeably with blue / red, using B 
for black would confuse the issue with Blue (Cyan), so instead of using 
the first letter of the color name, they used the last as an 
abbreviation to avoid confusion.

This must have been asked before but in CMYK, why is black given the letter
K?
Is it 0deg Kelvin?
