Designates the common name of a color and indicates its position in the spectrum or on the color wheel. Hue is determined by the specific wavelength of a color.
The four unique hues, or colors, are red, blue, green, and yellow. Hue usually refers to a color’s comparison with these unique hues, for example, its relative redness, blueness, greenness, yellowness. Technically, the dimension of color that is referred to a scale of perceptions ranging from red through yellow, green and blue, and circularly back to red.
