## Caption

Ever wonder why some paint tubes say “hue”? It’s not just a label—it’s a history. Originally stand-ins for rare or discontinued pigments, hues were once seen as second-rate. But modern formulas—like cadmium-free reds and yellows—prove that great substitutes can hold their own. Sometimes the understudy becomes the lead!
