Paint and ink are subtractive color - all colors together make black
White Balance - setting "what is white" for a particular lighting condition
Hue - color itself from 0 to 360 on a color wheel. R=0; G=120; B=240
Saturation - amount of color or chroma
0%=white; 50%, color+gray or subdued; 100% fully saturated
Brightness - also called luminance
0% is black; 100% is brightest
