Colors can be separated into Bright and Dark Colors when their Lightness ( how Bright they are ) are compared. 
Take, for example, the Yellows of a lemon and a grapefruit. Without a doubt, the Yellow of the lemon is much Brighter.


How about the Yellow of a lemon and the Red of a sweet cherry. Again, the lemon is Brighter, right? 
This Lightness can be measured independently of the Hue.
