Part of the Multimedia and graphics glossary:Hue, saturation, and brightness are aspects of

color in the red, green, and blue ( RGB ) scheme. These terms are most often used in
reference to the color of each pixel in a cathode ray tube ( CRT ) display.
a hue is a "pure" colour, i.e. one with no black or white in it. A shade is a "dark" colour, i.e. one produced by
mixing a hue with black. A tint is a "light" colour, i.e. one produced by mixing a hue with white. A tone is a colour
produced by mixing a hue with a shade of grey.
Microsoft Windows colour dialogs, PagePlus, and Paint Shop Pro use HSB but call the third dimension
"luminosity" or "lightness". It ranges from 0% (black) to 100% (white). A pure hue is 50% luminosity, 100%
saturation.
Colour type S L Black Any 0% White Any 100% Grey 0% 1-99% Hue 100% 50% Shade 100% 1-49% Tint 100%
51-99% Tone 1-99% 1-99%
Quattro Pro, CorelDraw, and PhotoShop use a variant (Quattro Pro calls the third parameter "brightness") in
which a brightness of 100% can produce white, a pure hue, or anything in between, depending on the saturation.

What is meant by color saturation?

Saturation is the difference between a bright orange colour (i.e. saturated) and a burnt orange or
terra cotta (i.e. unsaturated colour), between the red of a stop sign or a fire truck (i.e. saturated colour)
and the red of burgundy or oxblood.

What is hue and saturation in color?

Saturation is the colorfulness of a color relative to its own brightness. Though this general concept is
intuitive, terms such as chroma,saturation, purity, and intensity are often used without great
precision, and even when well-defined depend greatly on the specific color model in use.

What is the intensity of a color?

In colorimetry and color theory, colorfulness, chroma, and saturation are related but distinct concepts
referring to the perceived intensity of a specific color. Colorfulness is the degree of difference
between a colorand gray.

What are the three properties of color?

Color has three distinct properties: Hue (color name), Value (lightnessor darkness),
and Saturation (brightness or dullness). To understand color you must understand how these three
properties relate to each other. The traditional color name of a specific wavelength of light is a hue..

color filter
n.
A photographic filter made of colored glass that modifies the light striking the film by selectively absor
bing colors. Itis used when taking photographs through haze.

Filtering is a technique for modifying or enhancing an image. For example, you

processing operations implemented withfiltering include smoothing, sharpening, and edge
enhancement.
