@Chish: 1-Pretty sure the anon meant "K=blacK", not Key.

2-When people hear Key they normally think of Keys, which don't allude to a color. The closest things I could find for Key to fit CNR were:

-Cay, also spelled Key.

-High/Low Key, related to the primary tone in images.

-The Samara fruit, sometimes called Key.

PS: In the process I found the CMYK color model, though Chish beat me to it. With it, an interesting bit:

"The "K" in CMYK stands for key because in four-color printing, cyan, magenta and yellow printing plates are carefully keyed, or aligned, with the key of the black key plate. Some sources suggest that the "K" in CMYK comes from the last letter in "black" and was chosen because B already means blue. Some sources claim this explanation, although useful as a mnemonic, is incorrect, that K comes only from "Key" because black is often used as outline and printed first."
