Color Terms

There are a few terms that help us measure color.

Hue, Value, and Saturation

  • Hue-refers to the color family or name of a color such as: red, orange, blue
  • Value-the degree of lightness or darkness of a color
  • Saturation-refers to a color’s purity Highly saturated colors look clean and bright, like the colors you see on a color wheel. As other colors are added or mixed to these colors, they become less saturated.
