Hue refers to the pure color without any tint or shade. In calligraphy, selecting the right hues can affect the mood of the piece and ensure legibility on varying backgrounds.

Value, or brightness, refers to how light or dark a color is. Calligraphy can use high-contrast values for readability or subtle variations for sophisticated effects.

Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel. In calligraphy, using analogous colors creates harmonious and serene compositions with a unified feel.

Warm colors, like reds and oranges, evoke energy and warmth, whereas cool colors, like blues and greens, evoke calmness and serenity. Calligraphy can use warm or cool palettes to influence the emotional response of the viewer.

Color harmony involves combining colors in a way that is pleasing to the eye. In calligraphy, achieving color harmony can make a piece more aesthetically pleasing and coherent.
