A hue refers to the gradation of color within the optical spectrum, or visible spectrum, of light. “Hue” may also refer to a particular color within this spectrum, as defined by its dominant wavelength, or the central tendency of its combined wavelengths. For example, a light wave with a central tendency within 565-590 nm will be yellow.
