Light defines an object s color. The quality of color is broken into three characteristics. Colors Characteristics HUE describes a particular color of the visible spectrum, red, blue, green, and yellow. They are all called the pure or true colors. When white is added to a color it will become desaturated.
Saturation displays the variances of the original hue.
Another way to reference brightness is by its value between light and dark. D ifferent systems of color have been created. Each system has its own unique approach to color. The combination of the three additive colors will produce white. When two of the additive colors are mixed, they will produce a subtractive color.
