There are three main components to color:  Hue, Brightness, 

and Saturation.
Hue

The component that determines the frequency of light or 

the position in the spectrum or the relative amounts of 

red, green and blue. Hue corresponds to the common 

definition of color, e.g. "red", "orange", "violet" etc. 

The component that determines the total amount of light 

(white) in the color. Zero brightness is black. 100% 

Brightness is white.  Intermediate values are "light" or 

"dark" colors.

Brightness can be adjusted when using the  Gray Scale 

color mode (color matching method).
Gray Scale: see page 227

The degree of saturation of a color is its relative purity, or 

freedom from, mixture with white.
