Description
The perceived color of an object. Hue is determined by the wavelength distribution of radiation emitted from a surface. The radiant energy is processed by the human eye and perceived as a color, i.e., red, blue, yellow, etc. Hue is one of the three coordinates used in the Munsell system of color notation. In the Munsell color system there are ten major divisions of hue:
- R-Red
- BG-BlueGreen
- YR-YellowRed
- B-Blue
- Y-Yellow
- PB-PurbleBlue
- GY-GreenYellow
