Adding more gray to a color will produce what effect?

  1. Hue

  2. Saturation

  3. Shade

  4. Tone

The correct answer is: Hue

Adding more gray to a color will produce the effect of changing the hue. When gray is added to a color, it makes the color less vibrant and shifts it towards a more neutral tone. This results in a change in the overall color appearance, hence affecting the hue. In this context: - Saturation refers to the intensity or purity of a color and is not directly affected by adding gray. - Shade typically refers to a color that has been darkened by adding black rather than gray. - Tone is a mix of color with gray added but specifically refers to adjusting the lightness or darkness of the color without changing the hue.
