Best Answer

All hues (colors) have an inherent value, or level brightness.

Be aware that brighter looking colors do not always have higher values. Yellow and orange, for instance, appear very bright and warm to our eyes though they often fall at a rather low grey when you desaturate them. This is the inherent value.

To illustrate this, make a color wheel in your favorite graphic program, then disable the color channels. Re-arrange the now colorless shades in order of brightness. You may be surprised when you re-enable the color channels as to which colors are truly brighter than the others.
