What is meant by 'hue' in the context of color?

  1. The saturation of a color

  2. The brightness of a color

  3. The attribute of color perceived

  4. The depth of color

The correct answer is: The attribute of color perceived

In the context of color, 'hue' refers to the attribute of color perceived, often described as the name of the color that allows us to distinguish between colors such as red, blue, green, and yellow. Hue is primarily concerned with the wavelength of light that the color reflects; it identifies the color itself without considering its saturation or brightness. This means that when we talk about hue, we are focusing on what color it is, as opposed to how intense or light/dark that color appears. Understanding hue is fundamental in fields such as dentistry, where color matching for dental restorations requires precise identification.
