Hue names a color family, value describes lightness, and intensity or saturation describes vividness in this art vocabulary. Real mixing can change more than one property, so use the explicit conditions in these comparison cards.

Worked example

A pair described as equally light but blue versus green differs in hue. A pair with the same hue but different lightness differs in value.

Three vocabulary panels distinguish hue as color family, value as lightness or darkness, and intensity as vividness or mutedness. Real material changes can affect more than one property at once.

Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a place that changes overnight. Make a labeled three-row palette study: one hue change, one value change and one vividness change. Describe your intention even if your materials cannot isolate each property perfectly. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.

Reflect on your choices

  • Use the stated comparisons instead of assuming one property from another.
  • Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
  • There is no required style or single correct creative response.
