Creating CMYK colored figures with GTL

[Minki]

I want to create a graph using GTL (SAS 9.4) which completely uses CMYK pure process black color. I replaced (hopefully) all colors in my style definition with CMYK color black (CMYK000000FF) or white (CMYK00000000) and create my statgraph definitions. The figure as PDF file looks as expected, but looking into the color scheme, black is not presented as pure black (CMYK000000FF) but as a combination of RGB values (e.g., cyan 75%, magenta 68%, yallow 67%, process black 90%)..

Are thee any hints or ideas what's going wrong?

Here's my code (looks long because of all the color defintions):

%LET color=CMYK000000FF;

%**** Define the template;

%let __font = %str(Arial);

%let __fontsz = %str(8pt);

%let __fontsz2 = %str(6pt);

proc template;

I'm interested in this answer as well as my issue seems similar. We are writing out PDF files to send to a professional printer using CMYK and the professional printer is indicating it is coming to them as RGB.
