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 classified 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.
