/ HSL encodings of RGB ]] are cyclically rotated with time.]] Hue is one of the three main attributes of perceived Color , in addition to Lightness and chroma (or colorfulness). Hue is also one of the three dimensions in some colorspaces along with Saturation , and brightness (also known as lightness or value). Hue is that aspect of a color described with names such as " Red ", " Yellow ", etc. Usually, colors with the same hue are distinguished with adjectives referring to their lightness and/or , a light desaturated red. In Painting Color Theory , a hue refers to a ''pure'' color—one without Tint Or Shade (added white or black Pigment , respectively). A hue is an element of the Color Wheel . COMPUTING HUE

In practice, a four-quadrant Arctangent may be used if available to invert these formulae. Computing hue from RGB PreucilFrank Preucil, "Color Hue and Ink Transfer … Their Relation to Perfect Reproduction, ''TAGA Proceedings,'' p 102-110 (1953). describes a color hexagon, similar to a trilinear plot described by Evans, Hanson, and Brewer,Ralph Merrill Evans, W T Hanson, and W Lyle Brewer, ''Principles of Color Photography.'' New York: Wiley, 1953 which may be used to compute hue. To place red at 0°, Green at 120°, and Blue at 240°, one may solve: : He also used a polar plot, which he termed a color circle. Using R, G, and B, rather than the R, G, and B densities Preucil used, one may compute hue angle using the following scheme: determine which of the six possible orderings of R, G, and B prevail, then apply the appropriate formula; see table below. Note that in each case the formula contains the fraction , where H is the highest of R, G, and B; L is the lowest, and M is the mid one between the other two. This is referred to as the Preucil Hue Error, and was used in the computation of mask strength in photomechanical color reproduction.Miles Southworth, ''Color Separation Techniques,'' second edition. Livonia, New York: Graphic Arts Publishing, 1979 Hue angles computed for the Preucil circle agree with the hue angle computed for the Preucil Hexagon at integer multiples of 30 degrees (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, and the colors mid-way between contiguous pairs), and differ by approximately 1.2 degrees at odd integer multiples of 15 degrees (based on the circle formula), the maximum divergence between the two. Computing hue from RGB for HSB, HSV, and HSL color spaces The process of converting an RGB color into an HSL Color Space or HSV Color Space is usually based on a 6-piece or 12-piece piecewise-linear mapping, treating the HSV cone as a hexacone, or the HSL double cone as a double hexacone.1 SPECIALIZED HUES The hues exhibited by Caramel Colorings and Beer s are fairly limited in range. The Linner Hue Index is used to quantify the hue of such products. HUE AS A QUALIFICATION IN THE NAMES OF ARTIST'S COLORS Manufacturers of pigments use the word hue e.g. 'Cadmium Yellow (hue)' to indicate that the original pigmentation ingredient, often toxic, has been replaced by safer (or cheaper) alternatives whilst retaining the hue of the original. Replacements are often used for Chromium , Cadmium and Alizarin . HUE VS. DOMINANT WAVELENGTH Dominant Wavelength (or sometimes equivalent wavelength) is a physical analog to the perceptual attribute hue. On a Chromaticity Diagram , a line is drawn from a White Point through the coordinates of the color in question, until it intersects the Spectral Locus . The wavelength at which the line intersects the spectrum locus is identified as the color's Dominant Wavelength if the point is on the same side of the white point as the spectral locus, and as the color's Complementary Wavelength if the point is on the opposite side.Deane B Judd and Günter Wyszecki, ''Color in Business, Science, and Industry.''
