Farbwert (Helligkeit)

Value is one of the three fundamental properties of color alongside hue and saturation. A high-value color is light (closer to white), while a low-value color is dark (closer to black). Artists use value to create contrast, depth, and the illusion of form in their work. In grayscale, value is the only property visible. Understanding value is crucial for ensuring readability and visual hierarchy in design, as strong value contrast draws the eye more effectively than hue contrast alone.
