Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three basic properties of color are hue (the actual color), saturation (the intensity of the color), and brightness (the lightness or darkness of the color). Choice A is incorrect as tone is not a basic property of color. Choice C is incorrect as black, white, and blue-green are not properties of color, but rather specific colors. Choice D is also incorrect as primary hue and secondary tone are not standard properties of color.
