Hue
Hue[
h
] is a graphics directive which specifies that graphical objects which follow are to be displayed, if possible, in a color corresponding to hue h.
Hue[
h
,
s
,
b
] specifies colors in terms of hue, saturation and brightness.
The parameters h, s and b must all be between 0 and 1. Values of s and b outside this range are clipped. Values of h outside this range are treated cyclically.
As h varies from 0 to 1, the color corresponding to Hue[
h
] runs through red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, and back to red again.
Hue[
h
] is equivalent to Hue[
h
,
1,
1].
On monochrome displays, a gray level based on the brightness value is used.
The end of the Graphics Gallery shows examples of colors generated with various Hue specifications.
See the Mathematica book: Section 1.9.7, Section 2.9.3.
