Which property of color is related to the amount of light reflected by a hue?

Intensity
Value
Hue
Chroma

The correct answer is: Value

The characteristic of color that pertains to the amount of light reflected by a hue is referred to as value. Value represents the lightness or darkness of a color, influenced by how much light a particular hue reflects. For example, a color that reflects a high amount of light will appear lighter, while one that reflects less light will appear darker. This is crucial for artists, as understanding value helps in creating depth, mood, and emphasis within their work. Intensity, in contrast, relates to the purity and saturation of a color, indicating how vivid or dull it appears. Hue simply denotes the color itself, such as red or blue, without referencing its lightness or darkness. Chroma refers to the purity of a color in relation to gray; thus, it deals with saturation rather than the amount of light reflected. Understanding these distinctions enables artists to manipulate color effectively in their compositions.
