Three Main Visual Properties of Colors


Color has three main visual properties. These are Hue, Value and Intensity.

HUE – it is the actual color e.g. red, blue, orange or green.
VALUE – in terms of color, it refers to the degree of lightness or darkness. Adding neutral colors such as black or white to any colors (e.g. blue or red) results in changing the quantity of light it reflects. To obtain lightness to a color, add white. Add black if you want it darker.
INTENSITY – refers to the brightness or dullness of color. The bright colors are said to be high in intensity, the duller ones are lower in intensity.
