What Does "Hue" Mean?
Hue refers to the attribute of a color that allows it to be classified as red, blue, green, yellow, etc. It is essentially the name of a color or the dominant wavelength of light that we perceive.
In More Detail:
- Hue is one of the main properties of color, alongside saturation (intensity or purity of the color) and brightness (lightness or darkness).
- When you think of colors like "red," "orange," or "purple," you are thinking of different hues.
- In color theory and digital color models (like HSL or HSV), hue is usually represented as a degree on a color wheel (0° to 360°), where each degree corresponds to a specific color.
Example:
- A hue of 0° corresponds to red.
- A hue of 120° corresponds to green.
- A hue of 240° corresponds to blue.
So, hue is basically the "color family" or the pure color itself without considering how light or intense it is. If you want, I can also explain how hue is used in art, design, or digital imaging!
