hue, saturation, brightness
(HSB) A {colour model} that describes colours in
terms of {hue}, {saturation}, and {brightness}.
In the tables below, a hue is a "pure" colour, i.e. one with
no black or white in it. A shade is a "dark" colour, i.e. one
produced by mixing a hue with black. A tint is a "light"
colour, i.e. one produced by mixing a hue with white. A tone
is a colour produced by mixing a hue with a shade of grey.
{Microsoft Windows} colour dialogs, {PagePlus}, and {Paint
Shop Pro} use {HSB} but call the third dimension "luminosity"
or "lightness". It ranges from 0% (black) to 100% (white). A
pure hue is 50% luminosity, 100% saturation.

Tone 1-99% 1-99%
{Quattro Pro}, {CorelDraw}, and {PhotoShop} use a variant
(Quattro Pro calls the third parameter "brightness") in which
a brightness of 100% can produce white, a pure hue, or
anything in between, depending on the saturation.
