Contrast[wiki]: It is the difference in luminance or colour that makes an object distinguishable.
Hue[wiki]: It refers to the attribute of a visible light due to which it is differentiated from or similar to the primary colors: red, green and blue.
Gamma[wiki]: It is a nonlinear operation used to encode and decode luminance or tristimulus values in video or still image systems.
