Which term is the name of a color?

• A. Intensity
• B. Hue
• C. Rhythm
• D. Value

Answer: (B)

Color has different attributes, and the term that names a color itself is hue. Hue identifies the color family—red, blue, green, and so on—on the color wheel. It’s what we use when we say a color is “a shade of red” or “a blue-green.” Intensity describes how pure or saturated the color is, not the color’s name. Value refers to lightness or darkness, which you adjust by adding white or black. Rhythm is a design principle about repetition and pattern, not a color property. So hue is the best answer because it directly names the color itself.
