I don't know if it is the same thing, but as an artist, what I have learned is that RGB works best with radiant sources, such as an electronic display or something that is backlit. CMYK is best for opaque, non-backlit sources (such as my canvas with oils). For color mixing on my palette, the CMYK approach is what works, while using the RGB approach (what we all learned in grade school) doesn't. I've read a few books on color mixing, and find that the science stands with this thinking. So, if you want it to look best on a monitor, RGB is better.
My understanding is that there is no direct conversion method for going from one to the other, but I don't work in electronic media at all.
