The term used for referring to the basic colors of the spectrum is hue, which includes the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Answer: D
 The bright orange hue used on the coffin could be considered an example of optical color, where colors are used to create a sense of optical illusion or heightened sensory experience. The artist may have chosen to exaggerate the brightness of the cocoa pod's natural color to make the coffin more visually striking and memorable.
