This is a bit old school. Munsell was the first person to separate color into hue, value, and chroma essentially allowing color to be described and evaluated more scientifically, in his words "a rational way to describe color". This happened around 1905. Hue is the color, ie red, yellow, etc. Value is the relative lightness or darkness of a color. And chroma is the relative strenghth or weakness of the color, how washed out it is. This information is displayed three dimensionally.
