What is "hue"?

Hue refers to the specific shade or tint of a color. It is what is commonly thought of as the name of a color, like red, blue, or green.

gergo

words, phrases, and expressions used by a specific group or profession, which are incomprehensible to others

What is "jargon"?

Jargon refers to specialized words or expressions used by a particular profession, group, or field that may be difficult for outsiders to understand. It serves to facilitate communication among those within the same field by using precise terminology, but it can create barriers for those not familiar with the language. For example, in medicine, terms like "hypertension" and "myocardial infarction" are common jargon that might confuse someone without a medical background. While jargon can enhance clarity among experts, it may also lead to misunderstandings if used inappropriately with a general audience.

What is a "palette"?

A palette is a flat surface used by artists to mix and hold paints. It can be made from materials such as wood, plastic, or glass and typically has a smooth, sometimes slightly textured area where artists blend colors. Some palettes also have sections to keep different colors separate. The purpose of the palette is to help artists create the desired color mixtures and manage their paints efficiently while working on a painting. Palettes come in various shapes and sizes to suit different artistic needs.
