Hue is the basic element of Color Theory. When we ask "What is color is this?", what we are actually asking is Hue. These hues are dependent on the dominant wave length of light which is emitted or reflected from an object. Hue is pure color - like yellow, red, orange, blue etc.
Tints, Shades & Tones
These are different variations of hue. If pure Hue is made lighter by adding more white, it is called
Tint. If black is added to pure Hue to get a darker version, it is called
Shade. If gray is added, the result is
Tone.
