“You actually misused the word “HUE”. “

I used it correctly.

“And BLACK is NOT added to darken all colors, it isn’t used that way at all; not ever!”

Black is added to make different shades of a color. A COLOR. The color doesn’t.

Ergo, violet is not a shade of purple as you stated.

BLACK IS NEVER, NOT EVER, ADDED TO A COLOR TO DARKEN IT, RE PAINT OF ANY KIND! NEITHER IS IT ADDED WHEN WORKING IN PASTELS, NOR WHEN USING COLORED PENCILS OR ARTISTS' CRAYONS.

Perhaps black is used re printing/computer things, but from the beginnings of mankind drawing/painting, it hasn't! And so, mankind has seen these colors SANS black being added for millennia!

And you are still, stubbornly, misusing the word "HUE"!

How long have you been painting, what paint/s do you use, and what medium. or are you just arguing about a topic you neither know nor understand ?

Payne's Grey CAN be made with a black pigment and ultramarine blue; however, it can also be made with other pigments, none of which contain ANY black!

There are also MANY different blacks: LAMP BLACK, IVORY BLACK, MARS BLACK ( this one granulates, so it is really great to work with, as are ALL of the MARS colors ), and NEUTRAL TINT.

I really don't know WHY I keep replying to you, since obviously you 1) do NOT read what I write 2) understand what I write, 3) refuse to believe the FACTS that I present to you.

I've really taken a considerable amount of time and effort to give you detailed FACTUAL information, but I might just as well have been talking to the floor. Hell, I might have gotten a better response from the floor! LOL

So DO NOT reply to me; we're done, finished, over discussing this topic!
