Definitions

Value - When we describe a color as "light" or "dark", we are referring to its value or "brightness". This property of color indicates how light or dark a color is based on how close it is to white. For instance, canary yellow would be considered lighter than navy blue which in turn is lighter than black. For example, the value of light yellow is higher than navy blue and black.
