With gratitude, I am forwarding a solution to my problem that seems  
to have reached me but not the rest of the group.

When responding, please replace news with my first initial and full  
last name, as one word.

Hi Tom,

Note that because you reevaluate c and m, Manipulate keeps spinning all
the time. Here's a faster version:

DynamicModule[{gr, c, m, y, k},
  gr = GraphicsGrid[Table[c = xx/12; m = yy/12;
     Graphics[{CMYKColor @@ Dynamic /@ {c, m, y, k},
       Disk[{xx, yy}, 1, {0, Pi}],
       RGBColor @@ Dynamic /@ cmyk2rgb[c, m, y, k],
       Disk[{xx, yy}, 1, {Pi, 2 Pi}]},
      ContentSelectable -> False],
     {xx, 0, 12, 2}, {yy, 0, 12, 2}]];
  Manipulate @@ {gr, {y, 0.0, 1, 1/6}, {k, 0.0, 1, 1/6}}
]

Best regards,
Maxim Rytin
