About the term hue here at lightcolourvision.org
- At lightcolourvision.org we use hue in relation to the colour models it belongs to. One of our favourites is the HSB colour model.
- Colour models describe the attributes of colour in different ways.
- The HSB colour model refers to hue alongside saturation and brightness.
- The HSB colour model is extensively used for digital design and can be used to describe any colour on a TV, computer or mobile phone.
- The CMYK colour model uses a different set of attributes because one of its main concerns is how coloured inks appear on paper. Because hue isn’t part of the vocabulary used in that field the term is best avoided.
