What is the correct meaning of hue?

Correct answer: Name of a colour

The correct answer is A: hue means the name or identity of a colour. To understand this, first separate colour identity from other colour qualities. Red, blue, yellow, green, and violet are hue names. Hue tells us which colour we are looking at; it does not primarily tell us whether that colour is light, dark, bright, or dull. A is correct because it directly describes colour identity. B is incorrect because the touch or appearance of a surface is called texture. C is incorrect because depth concerns form or space, not hue. D is incorrect because the direction of a mark belongs to line. A useful memory cue is: hue answers the question, “Which colour is it?” Do not confuse hue with tint, shade, or tone: white makes a tint, black makes a shade, and grey commonly makes a tone.
