About Hue Shifting
Hue is one of the main properties of a color, along with saturation and lightness. It represents the degree to which a color can be described as similar to or different from red, yellow, green, and blue. Shifting the hue of a color means moving it around the color wheel while maintaining its saturation and lightness.
