Definition of hue
- Hue is the shade of tone of colour. As you can see here are the different shade of green as darkness increase, the colour vision starts to work, and the characteristic pale green hue of the aurora becomes visible.
- Value is the brightness of the colour. We can tell the value of the colour by how light or dark it is from the colour white.
- Saturation is related to chromaticity. It show us how the colour look under certain lighting condition. This can also be called the colour intensity. for example a room painted may be a red but due to he lighting in the room it may be a different colour.
- Secondary colour is the mixture of two primary colours for example the combination of the two primary colours blue and yellow create the secondary colour green.
- Tertiary colour is the mixture of either a primary colour with a secondary colour or the mixture of two secondary colours.
- Complementary colours are the colours opposite each other on the colour wheel. For example the colour green complements red. It goes well together and is pleasant to the eye.
- Analogous colour is the colour adjacent to each other on the colour wheel. it is best used with warm and cool colours, developing a look that has a certain temperature and giving a proper colour harmony.
- A colour tint is the amount of white added to the colour. the opposite of this is the shade of colour which is the addition of black to the colour giving it a shadier look.
- Neutral usually means without colour. Colours like beige, ivory, taupe, black, gray and white are considered neutral colours.
