Hue, the Glossary
In color theory, hue is one of the main properties (called color appearance parameters) of a color, defined technically in the CIECAM02 model as "the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet," within certain theories of color vision.[1]

Alizarin
Alizarin (also known as 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone, Mordant Red 11, C.I. 58000, and Turkey Red) is an organic compound with formula that has been used throughout history as a red dye, principally for dyeing textile fabrics.

Angle
In Euclidean geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.

Cadmium
Cadmium is a chemical element; it has symbol Cd and atomic number 48.

Cartesian coordinate system
In geometry, a Cartesian coordinate system in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of real numbers called coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, called coordinate lines, coordinate axes or just axes (plural of axis) of the system.
See Hue and Cartesian coordinate system
Chromaticity
Chromaticity is an objective specification of the quality of a color regardless of its luminance. Hue and Chromaticity are color.
Chromium
Chromium is a chemical element; it has symbol Cr and atomic number 24.
See Hue and Chromium
CIECAM02
In colorimetry, CIECAM02 is the color appearance model published in 2002 by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) Technical Committee 8-01 (Color Appearance Modelling for Color Management Systems) and the successor of CIECAM97s.
See Hue and CIECAM02
CIELAB color space
The CIELAB color space, also referred to as L*a*b*, is a color space defined by the International Commission on Illumination (abbreviated CIE) in 1976.
See Hue and CIELAB color space
CIELUV
In colorimetry, the CIE 1976 L*, u*, v* color space, commonly known by its abbreviation CIELUV, is a color space adopted by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976, as a simple-to-compute transformation of the 1931 CIE XYZ color space, but which attempted perceptual uniformity.
See Hue and CIELUV
Color
Color (American English) or colour (British and Commonwealth English) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum.
See Hue and Color
Color space
A color space is a specific organization of colors.
Color term
A color term (or color name) is a word or phrase that refers to a specific color.
Color theory
Color theory, or more specifically traditional color theory, is the historical body of knowledge describing the behavior of colors, namely in color mixing, color contrast effects, color harmony, color schemes and color symbolism. Hue and color theory are color.
Color vision
Color vision, a feature of visual perception, is an ability to perceive differences between light composed of different frequencies independently of light intensity. Hue and Color vision are color.
Color wheel
A color wheel or color circle is an abstract illustrative organization of color hues around a circle, which shows the relationships between primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors etc. Hue and color wheel are color.
Colorfulness
Colorfulness, chroma and saturation are attributes of perceived color relating to chromatic intensity. Hue and Colorfulness are color.
Complementary colors
Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined or mixed, cancel each other out (lose hue) by producing a grayscale color like white or black. Hue and Complementary colors are color.
See Hue and Complementary colors
Dominant wavelength
In color science, the dominant wavelength is a method of characterizing a color's hue. Hue and dominant wavelength are color.
See Hue and Dominant wavelength
Glob (visual system)
Globs are millimeter-sized color modules found beyond the visual area V2 in the brain's color processing ventral (also known as parvocellular) pathway. Hue and Glob (visual system) are color.
See Hue and Glob (visual system)
Green
Green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum.

Hexagonal pyramid
In geometry, a hexagonal pyramid is a pyramid with a hexagonal base upon which are erected six triangular faces that meet at a point (the apex).
HSL and HSV
HSL and HSV are the two most common cylindrical-coordinate representations of points in an RGB color model.
Human brain
The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system.
Lightness
Lightness is a visual perception of the luminance (L) of an object. Hue and Lightness are color.
Munsell color system
In colorimetry, the Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three properties of color: hue (basic color), value (lightness), and chroma (color intensity).

Natural Color System
The Natural Color System (NCS) is a proprietary perceptual color model.
See Hue and Natural Color System
Opponent process
The opponent process is a color theory that states that the human visual system interprets information about color by processing signals from photoreceptor cells in an antagonistic manner.
Orange (colour)
Orange is the colour between yellow and red on the spectrum of visible light.
Painted bunting
The painted bunting (Passerina ciris) is a species of bird in the cardinal family, Cardinalidae.
Painting
Painting is a visual art, which is characterized by the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support").
See Hue and Painting
Pantone
Pantone LLC (stylized as PANTONE) is an American limited liability company headquartered in Carlstadt, New Jersey, and best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS), a proprietary color space used in a variety of industries, notably graphic design, fashion design, product design, printing, and manufacturing and supporting the management of color from design to production, in physical and digital formats, among coated and uncoated materials, cotton, polyester, nylon and plastics.

Polar coordinate system
In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.
See Hue and Polar coordinate system
Red
Red is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite violet.
See Hue and Red
RGB color model
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which the red, green and blue primary colors of light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors.
Tint, shade and tone
In color theory, a tint is a mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness. Hue and tint, shade and tone are color.
See Hue and Tint, shade and tone

The visual cortex of the brain is the area of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information.

A white point (often referred to as reference white or target white in technical documents) is a set of tristimulus values or chromaticity coordinates that serve to define the color "white" in image capture, encoding, or reproduction. Hue and white point are color.
