Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nonspectral hue is one that cannot be described by a single wavelength because it is a mixture of two or more wavelengths. Complementary hues are pairs of colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel and can be described by single wavelengths. Achromatic colors are those that have no hue, such as black, white, and gray. Monochromatic colors are hues of the same color that differ only in their intensity or brightness.
