Pure white light, such as sunlight, is composed of the visible colors. Sir Isaac Newton discovered this in 1666 by passing a beam of light through a prism.
There are literally millions of colors! But fortunately, they can be divided into just a few color families. And every color can be described in terms of having three main attributes: hue, saturation and brightness.
Hue is identified as the color family or color name (such as red, green, purple). Hue is directly linked to the color's wavelength.
Saturation, also called "chroma," is a measure of the purity of a color or how sharp or dull the color appears.
Brightness, also called "luminance" or "value," is the shade (darkness) or tint (lightness) of a color. Areas of an evenly colored object in direct light have higher brightness than areas in shadow.
