Tint, Tone and Shade

All design/index.html">elements of design have value. They range from 1% to 100% white on a black background and from 1% to 100% black on a white background. Value adds contrast, movement, direction and depth. Atmospheric values show distance. Can you imagine a black wedding dress among a sea of white tuxedos? Or a black tank in a desert? Values help an object recede or stand out. A value is not as powerful as color when creating a mood, but if your values donīt work, color wonīt save you.

Tint = White + Color
Tone = Gray + color
Shade = Black + color
