Lightroom Classic 2020 Hue vs color in Adj Brush panel

[Steve48]

In the Adjustment Brush panel there is a new hue control. At the bottom of the panel there is also the 'not new' color control. They seem similar to me. Does the new hue feature do something the old color control doesn't? What is the difference?

Hue shifts the color of the area, Color paints a single colour over it.

Thank you for responding. That makes sense. So with hue, you can get a gradual transition. I just realized that with hue, I can swap channels in an IR image without going to photoshop.

I'd recommend experimenting with the range mask in combination with Hue. For example, you might want to change a red car to blue, so you use range mask to target red and shift its colour without affecting the foliage around it.

Direct info from the ACR team that developed the tool, can't beat that.

It seems as if hue works in conjunction with the range color mask and color does not. Is that correct?
