Certain RGB colors that you can see on your monitor or camera (in particular, bright vibrant colors) simply cannot be replicated with standard CMYK inks.
There are 2 different types of color modes when designing your artwork.
RGB - Red | Green | Blue are colors of light combined together to create images on a TV screen, computer monitor, etc.
CMYK - Cyan | Magenta | Yellow | Black are colors of ink mixed together to create your full-color image.
