Color is one of the most powerful elements. It has a lot of
expressive qualities. The word color is the general term which
applies to the whole subject: red, orange, yellow, green...
Value is defined as the relative lightness or darkness of a
color. Contrast of value separates objects in space.
With value we create a sensation of depth.
Hue is the term for the pure gamma of colors commonly referred
to the "color names" : red, orange, yellow, blue, green, violet.
Which appear in the hue circle or rainbow.

The saturation of a color is determined by a combination of light
intensity and how much it is distributed across the gamma.
