It's all about complementary colors! So, when a monster is hit by a similar/same color-there is little to no damage. When a monster is hit by an opposite color/non-similar colors (lime lime v. purple) more damage will be done.
Hues are shades of color. If you look, red xxx and red xxy look a little different (a little darker/lighter). I am pretty sure that the whole point of having various hues of the colors is to mathematically calculate which monsters/gems are perfect opposites-hence making more or less damage.
In the first gemcraft the closer the color/hue a gem was to the color of the creep the less the gem did to the creep. If the colors of the creep and gems were opposites the gem did more damage.
jha a green gem is more effectively against a monster with a red skin then one with a green skin. once I had only pure bleu gems, then a wave of blue monster came, and I didn't even kill one. xD , I had them all like grade 6 or something, but still the blue ones didn't die.
