The first one seems OK as it’s the basis of CMYK colour printing? Obviously missing black of course though.

Black in CMYK is not strictly necessary, you can absolutely make black out of CMY, but the separate ink gets added since black is such a regular occurence it's simply cheaper to not mix it out of the other colors.
