SHADE + HUE + TINT

Many people use terms like “hue” and “color” or “tint” and “shade”
interchangeably, but the terms have distinctly different meanings. Color is a very
general term used to describe every hue, tint, tone, or shade we can see. Hue
refers to the dominant color family.
Hue refers to the origin of the colors we can see. Primary and Secondary colors
(Yellow, Orange, Red, Violet, Blue, and Green) are considered hues; however,
tertiary colors (mixed colors where neither color is dominant) would also be
considered hues.
 TINT
Tint refers to any hue or mixture of pure colors to which white is added. Pastel
colors are generally tinted colors. Tinted color remains the same color, but it is
paler than the original. When mixing a tint, always begin with white paint and
gradually mix in small amounts of color until you’ve achieved the tint you want.

TONE
Tone is a hue or mixture of pure colors to which only pure gray is added (equal
amounts of black and white). Adding gray to a color will make the intensity
much duller. Beware of mixing too much gray into a hue as it can become over-
dulled and virtually impossible to restore the brilliance.

SHADE
Shade is a hue or mixture of pure colors to which only black is added. It contains
no white or gray. Shade darkens the color, but the hue remains the same. When
mixing a shade, begin with the color itself then add black one drop at a time.

ANALOGOUS COLOUR

Analogous colors are groups of three colors that are next to each other on the color
wheel, and a tertiary. Red, orange, and red-orange are examples.
The term analogous refers to having analogy, or corresponding to something in
particular. An analogous color scheme creates a rich, monochromatic look. It is best
used with either warm or cool colors, creating a look that has a certain temperature as
well as proper color harmony. While this is true, the scheme also lacks contrast and
is less vibrant than complementary schemes.
ACHROMATIC COLOR

Achromatic means literally “without color”. It can also refer to: Achromatic
colors, “greys” or “neutral colors”, also black or white. Achromatic lens, a lens
designed to minimize chromatic aberration.
