Choosing a CMYK color option in Acrobat Pro DC

I just downloaded a trial version of Acrobat Pro DC. I need to change the color of a font in a field box, however the only option available is RGB. I have looked online and see that there are "sliders" for CMYK, however the RGB is the only color available to me. I am working on a PC and NOT a Mac. All that I see online are Mac users. Can someone tell me how to get the CMYK option on a PC? Thank you!

As mentioned, this can be done using a script.

This code will change a field's font color to a CMYK value (pure yellow, in this case):

this.getField("Text1").textColor = ["CMYK", 0, 0, 1, 0];

There are no CMYK sliders on Windows and they don't work on Mac.

The CMYK sliders also set RGB on a Mac. Only Javascript programmers can set CMYK. No profile can be set.

This is what appears when I try to change colors. No CMYK dropdown option. Are you saying there is no way on a PC to be able to set CMYK colors?
