Color

Hue is the name of the color. While there are many color, there is far less hue. Pink and crimson are color but the base hue of these color is red.

Saturation (Chroma) is the strength or purity of the color. It is simply the amount of white in the color. Brightness (Value) is the lightness or darkness of the color. It is determined by the amount of black in the color.

Combination of hue, saturation and brightness create infinite number of color that we see in the world.
