What is the result when gray is added to a color?

  1. Hue

  2. Saturation

  3. Tone

  4. White

The correct answer is: Hue

When gray is added to a color, it affects the hue of the color. Hue refers to the actual color of an object, such as red, blue, or green. Adding gray to a color changes its hue by making it appear more muted or dull. Saturation refers to the intensity or purity of a color, while tone refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. White is a color itself and adding it to another color would result in lightening or brightening the original color rather than affecting its hue. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
