hue
Spectrum position indicator
Hue is a color or shade of color: autumn leaves in hues of red and gold.
More precisely, hue is the quality that distinguishes one color from another—what makes blue blue rather than green.
The word appears in hue and cry, an old phrase for a public outcry or clamor, though this hue derives from a different source meaning a shouting or hooting.
