For example, red, yellow, green, blue, etc.
Blackness: The blackness of a color is the degree of darkness or lightness of the color.
It is expressed as a percentage from 0% (white) to 100% (black).
Chromaticness: The chromaticness of a color is the degree of purity or dullness of the color.
It is expressed as a percentage from 0% (gray) to 100% (pure hue).
Nuance: The nuance of a color is the proportion of the two closest hues in the color circle.
For example, a color with a nuance of 20R has 20% of red and 80% of the main hue.
