For achromatic objects, they can be arranged according to lightness or value, the order of lightness is from white to gray to black.Chromatic colors are defined by it’s hue - red, green, yellow, blue or any shades within the color spectrum. Saturation (also known as chroma) determines the degree of the color – or the ‘how much color’.
