Out of the three elements that cause perception of "colour," the ratio of chroma and value are higher than the ratio of hue.

As shown above,the hue ration diminishes in the illustration. Colour perception relies more on "value(brightness)," and distinguishing colours become more difficult.

"Colour Vision," or "Sensitivity to lights wave length" differs by individual. Each person perceives colours differently.
