I think it is a color management issue, as even ImageReady shows it as the "bad" colors.  What app did you use to make this?  If photoshop, try disabling color space management and see what happens.

Found this on ColourAtlas:

When to use the RGB atlas and when the CMYK atlas?

Due to the fourth colour the CMYK atlas offers many more nuances, but its application only makes sense if the software and hardware being used support the CMYK colour model.


'Software only capable of RGB' and 'Software capable of both RGB and CMYK'
(click thumb):

In general only software that is customarily used in the preprint stage is CMYK capable. An overwhelming majority of programs only support RGB colours.

Why I didn't test my Microsoft Office 2003 Picture Manager much sooner   I don't know,  but of course it displays the picture just fine:
