Art: what is hue?

Tutoring web design, you might encounter other color systems besides rgb. The tutor begins about hue.

Hue exists on a scale from 0 to 360 degrees:

  • 0 is red
  • 120 is green
  • 240 is blue

Between those values are combinations of them: 30 degrees is orange, for instance, while 330 is hot pink.

Hue alone doesn’t constitute a color, because the color depends on the hue along with saturation and lightness (or intensity or value, depending on the system).

Hue-based color systems constitute a huge, complex topic to which I’ll be returning:)
