hues.▪
Advancing hues are most often thought to have less visual weight
than the receding hues.▪Most often warm, saturated, light value
hues are "active" and visually advance.▪Cool, low saturated, dark
value hues are "passive" and visually recede.▪Tints or hues with a
low saturation appear lighter than shades or highly saturated
colors.▪Some colors remain visually neutral or indifferent.
