Color consists of hues, of which there are three properties: hue, chroma or intensity, and value.

Color is present when light strikes an object and it is reflected back into the eye, a reaction to a hue arising in the optic nerve.

The first of the properties is hue, which is the distinguishable color, like red, blue or yellow. The next property is value, meaning the lightness or darkness of the hue.

The last is chroma or intensity, distinguishing between strong and weak colors.
