Making colors on a webpage is easy, it's all numbers. But the colors that go into magazines, brochures and posters is made the old-fashioned way, with ink. In the following video, a Chief Ink Maker from the Printing Ink Company shows you how powders and varnishes are combined to make their product. (In addition to being fascinated by the process, I was surprised at how few of them wear smocks; PIC must hire the least clumsy people on the planet.)
