From a laboratory report on the testing of bleaches used in the production of printing paper.

Оттеночность полученных отливок с применением испытуемых образцов, находится на одном уровне.

(I don't see the point of the comma in that sentence, but that's how I have it).

оттеночность
shades of white


Explanation:
I have found a very good reference material (see an excerpt below)

PAPER CHARACTERISTICS

The characteristics of paper are determined by the nature of the pulp and thesubsequent processing. The most obvious ones are finish, grammage, thickness, opacity,durability, strength, and colour or whiteness.

...........

WHITENESS

Paper comes in many shades of white. The actual shade of white is determined by the kinds of bleaches used and the variety of dyes (such as fluorescent whitening agents) blended into the pulp. Bleaching intensifies the brightness of the pulp without altering its basic colour; and it may also remove impure natural components, thus helping to obtain a cleaner pulp. The quality of whiteness is improved by the addition of blue or violet dyes. Dyes are also added to coating mixtures to enhance the whiteness of coated papers.

hueness


Explanation:
hueness

Maybe so?

The third property is the most obvious from a mathematical sense, but it is also the most
important from a philosophical sense. It is in these relationships that we see the first hint of
separating the definition of a color into components that can be related to three sensations of
“brightness”, “hueness”, and “colorfulness”.
