General Information

About Color

Everybody has an idea of what hue an object has, for example, an apple is

red, a lemon is yellow, and the sky is blue. Hue is the tint by which the color of

an object is classied as red, yellow, blue, etc.

Brightness is the degree of lightness in a color,

as compared with another color, which makes

it a light color or a dark color. For example,

when comparing the yellow of a lemon and

the yellow of a grapefruit, it is obvious that the

yellow of the lemon is brighter. But what about

when comparing the yellow of a lemon and the

red of a bean? Obviously, the yellow of the

lemon is brighter. Brightness is this degree of

lightness that enables comparison regardless of

the hue.

What makes the difference between the

yellow of a lemon and the yellow a pear? By

saying that the lemon is a more vivid yellow

and the pear is a duller yellow, the difference

between the two colors is stated in terms

of saturation, as opposed to brightness. As

opposed to hue and brightness, saturation is

the characteristic that indicates the degree of

vividness.
