What term refers to the actual color we see that distinguishes red from yellow from blue?

Hue
Saturation
Tint
Tone

The correct answer is: Hue

The correct answer is "Hue." In color theory, hue refers to the attribute of a color by which it is distinguished from other colors such as red, yellow, blue, etc. It is the actual color that we perceive without considering factors like brightness or saturation. Saturation, on the other hand, refers to the intensity or purity of a color. Tint is a color term that refers to the mixture of a color with white, making it lighter. Tone usually refers to the darkness or lightness of a color, achieved by mixing the color with grey.
