Comment on Help! CMYK and black issues by Calcination
Ya when making something originally with rbg, when you change it to cmyk the colors will be off, its trying to match the closest cmyk to the rbg color. CMYK color pallet is really limited compared to rbg. Its usually a good idea in the future, if your going to be printing it out, start out with cmyk, if your not printing and is going on the web then rbg is fine. You can try to change the hue/sat, vibrance or exposure.
Have you decided where your printing it out at???
Another option, might be an easier one the redoing it all........The costco out where i live can print RBG files. Some Printers now a days can print RBG colors. I would find that out 1st, if they use an rbg printer. THen you would only need to get the printer profile for their printers, so u can set that profile up in ps to see how the print will look. Then adjust it if its to light or dark.

Printer drivers that take RGB images just do an automatic conversion to CMYK (or a similar space) internally which is exactly where the issue Calcination had occurred: an automatic conversion with no manual adaptation.
I haven't worked with this myself but my understanding as that this is just something that takes manual effort to deal with, which is why high end printing generally requires CMYK images. Print shops can do an automatic conversion easily enough but getting good results really takes an understanding of the intent of the image and a lot of work to adjust it to the new colourspace as there is no universally correct transformation from RGB to CMYK that will always produce the desired result. It would take an AI that could actually recognize what the image is, and probably some means to read the user's mind on top of that.
