Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. It is also sometimes referred to as brightness or tonality. The degree of lightness or darkness is determined by the amount of light reflected or absorbed by a surface. Saturation, on the other hand, refers to the intensity or purity of a color, while hue refers to the actual color itself (red, blue, green, etc.). Contrast and intensity are related to value, but are not interchangeable with it.
