The container on the left looks like a huge ink cartridge.

It might be that in a highly concentrated form the inks appear darker or it might be that reporters got the info wrong. CMYK are certainly 4 color process inks, but other colors exist for spot color printing but I doubt they'd be red and blue. I'm guessing we're just seeing really concentrated colors.
