I have a box of Coco Puffs and I was reading that little color thing with all the shaded they use. Magenta, Cyan, Yellow, K? Whats K? Just curious :)

 
It's probably Khaki. I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Maybe you could google it, or something~

 
The little dots??? They show the colours on the box! :^D

K is black. I'm guessing they use K instead of B to prevent confusion with blue.

There's a wikipedia article about it, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK

They're the printers' marks. The standard printing colours used on all 4 colour packaging - not just on cereal packets :D are cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

Black is the "key" colour - that's why it is called K .... (traditional printer's decision - don't ask me why - they decided years and years ago what to call it and all printers know what it means ;) )

If you want to know more, binary's link to the wiki definition is good.

If that's not enough information, then ... I guess you might want to think about 4 colour printing and reprographics as a career choice :D
