Hue

The term hue describes the specific type of chromaticity or tint of a color. It refers to the basic color identified in a color system or on a color spectrum. This term is often expressed by words such as red, yellow, green or violet, each representing specific shades and tones of color.

The hue is crucial for the visual perception and classification of colors. It defines which basic color is dominant in the hue and influences the emotional and aesthetic effect that a color has on the viewer. Choosing the right hue is therefore of great importance in areas such as design, art and interior design, where precise color matching is required to achieve desired visual effects and harmonies.
