CMYK adjust has a strange behavior.
All sliders have an initial position of 0.000
When I increase the slider of Reds, the color intensity of Red becomes weaker. The same with Yellows. Minus values increase intensity.
For Greens and Blues it is the other way around.
The whole area of color wheels needs attention, and IIRC the devs are already on it because a bug report for this exists for quite some time. You may want to search it in bugs.kde.org
