Hue, Brightness, and Saturation

There are three main components to color: Hue, Brightness,

and Saturation.
Hue

The component that determines the frequency of light or

the position in the spectrum or the relative amounts of

red, green and blue. Hue corresponds to the common

definition of color, e.g. "red", "orange", "violet" etc.

Brightness

The component that determines the total amount of light

(white) in the color. Zero brightness is black. 100%

Brightness is white. Intermediate values are "light" or

"dark" colors.

The degree of saturation of a color is its relative purity, or

freedom from, mixture with white.
