    Specifiying Hue, Saturation, and Brightness
    In This Topic

    In addition to a color being specified by its RGB components, it can also be represented by its hue, saturation, and brightness. The hue, saturation, and brightness are all aspects of the red, green, and blue color scheme. The hue is the specific tone of the color wheel made up of red, green, and blue tones, the saturation is the intensity of the hue from gray tone to a pure vivid tone, and the brightness is the lightness or darkness of a tone.

    C1Chart has a Visual Effects designer that enables you to set the hue, saturation, and brightness of a color for the data series, header and footer titles, and the legend elements for more information on using the Visual Effects designer to specifiy a new color through the hue, saturation, and brightness, see Use the Color Sliders to Enhance an Existing Color for the Chart Data Series or Use the Color Sliders to Enhance an Existing Color for the Chart Header and Footer.
