1. Hue: This section represents the different pure colors on the color wheel. These are created by mixing different amounts of the three primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) and are often referred to as the "basic" colors.

2. Tone: This section represents the variations of a hue by adding gray or black to it, resulting in a less vibrant or muted version of the original color. It is also known as the shade of a color.

3. Value: This section represents the variation in lightness or darkness of a color. Colors can be lighter or darker depending on the amount of white or black added to them.

4. Spectrum: This section represents the full range of colors in visible light. It ranges from red, through orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, and is often represented as a rainbow. The spectrum is continuous, meaning that there are no distinct boundaries between the colors.

Sure! Let's focus on hue.

Hue: This section of the color wheel represents the different pure colors. It refers to the attribute of color that allows us to distinguish between red, blue, yellow, and other specific colors. It is determined by the dominant wavelength of light that is being reflected or emitted by an object. The hue section of the color wheel is divided into various segments, each representing a specific hue or color.
