B03. Hue, Lightness and Chroma

Five connected studies move hue, lightness and chroma from direct observation and explanation through controlled experiment, application and critique. Five active studies connect evidence, experiment, application and critique.

  • Hue Families

    Begin Hue, Lightness and Chroma with hue families: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

  • Value and Lightness

    Within Hue, Lightness and Chroma, build a working explanation of value and lightness, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.

  • Chroma

    In Hue, Lightness and Chroma, test chroma by changing one controlled variable and comparing the evidence.

  • Saturation versus Chroma

    Apply saturation versus chroma within Hue, Lightness and Chroma to a practical color decision, preserving both the reasoning and its constraints.

  • Three-Dimensional Color Organization

    In Hue, Lightness and Chroma, critique three-dimensional color organization against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.
