  hue
       
           (Or "tint") The coordinate in the HSB colour
          model that determines the frequency of light or the position
          in the spectrum or the relative amounts of red, green and
          blue.  Hue corresponds to the common definition of colour,
          e.g. "red", "orange", "violet" etc.  The other coordinates are
          saturation and brightness.

            [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The use of the word tone, both for a sound and for the
           interval between two sounds or tones, is confusing, but
           is common -- almost universal.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Nearly every musical sound is composite, consisting of
           several simultaneous tones having different rates of
           vibration according to fixed laws, which depend upon
           the nature of the vibrating body and the mode of
           excitation. The components (of a composite sound) are
           called partial tones; that one having the lowest rate
           of vibration is the fundamental tone, and the other
           partial tones are called harmonics, or overtones. The
           vibration ratios of the partial tones composing any
           sound are expressed by all, or by a part, of the
           numbers in the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.; and the
           quality of any sound (the tone color) is due in part to
           the presence or absence of overtones as represented in
           this series, and in part to the greater or less
           intensity of those present as compared with the
           fundamental tone and with one another. Resultant tones,
           combination tones, summation tones, difference tones,
           Tartini's tones (terms only in part synonymous) are
           produced by the simultaneous sounding of two or more
           primary (simple or composite) tones.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     5. (Med.) That state of a body, or of any of its organs or
        parts, in which the animal functions are healthy and
        performed with due vigor.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: In this sense, the word is metaphorically applied to
           character or faculties, intellectual and moral; as, his
           mind has lost its tone.
           [1913 Webster]
