[Color Properties]
Color can be defined by three properties: hue, saturation, and lightness or brightness.

When we call an object "red," we are referring to its hue. Hue is determined by the dominant wavelength.
[Saturation of Color Ranges]
The saturation of a color ranges from neutral to brilliant. The circle on the right is a more vivid red than the circle on the left although both have the same hue.
[Brightness]
Lightness or brightness refers to the amount of light the color reflects or transmits.
