Hue
by Sun hong Hwang
Hue is one
of the components of the color or sometimes it can be used as the synonym
of the color. Three components are hue, saturation, and value. When we
mention "color" of an object, we are usually talking about the
hue of that object. Hue is more specifically described by the principal
wavelength.
Hue is also a term which describes a dimension of color we readily experience
when we look at color. It will be the first of three dimensions we use
to describe color. According to the website http://www.pomona.edu/Academics
, visually, hue does three things. It adds another dimension to images
that once were black and white. It acts as a formal element in a composition
that directs the viewer's attention. It also creates moods and feelings
in an image that complement the message that the image gives formally
Most people are familiar with hue through the labeling of three hues as
the "primary colors" : red, yellow, and blue. One can create
any other color by mixing light of these three hues.
| If there
would be no light, color or hue would not exist. We usually assume
that the color of the sky is blue. However, the sky has various colors
such as yellow,blue, and gray as this image is shown. We perceive
the reflected light as the color of the object. |

The
primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Painters have these three
hues as their "primary colors" because it is easy to get
very saturated versions of these hues in paint. These bikes are very
distinguishable because each auto bicycle represents a primary colors.
|
| Colors
differ in appearance from each other. By mixing primary colors, various
colors can be made. Red,yellow, and blue are primary colors. The colors
mixed from primary colors are called secondary colors. For example,
orange, green, and purple are made by mixing the primary colors. |

Hue
is the most important attribute of the color. We can tell the difference
between ripe plums and one that isn't so ripe.
The bright purple at the bottom on this image is clearly distinguishable
from other plums.
|
| Secondary
primary colors can be made by mixing primary colors. For example,
magenta can be made from the two adjacent colors of red and blue.
Similarly, yellow and cyan, when mixed together, produce green. |

Hue
creates moods and feelings in an image that complement the message
that the image gives formally. This image shows that a lady with blonde
hair and a white parrot creates a clean and innocent image. |
