It's amazing that we get as close as we do. Considering we start with pixels captured by a camera, viewed as pixels on a RGB monitor, converted to CMYK, & then printed with dyes & pigments on varying grades of paper, isn't it?

What makes it work is everything being calibrated from a common standard reference.
For years that was the MacBeth Color Checker. Its gone through several ownership changes but still probably the most widely known reference.
Its RGBCMY and gray scale references were licensed by an association of museum curators as the official reference for documenting artwork.
