To start to understand, a pure form of a color is called a hue. So when a neutral color such as white is added to it, a resulting mixture lower in color concentration is made known as a tint.
However, whenever adding to the hue a mixture to obscure the hue, it is known as a shade, and the objective is to darken the tone of the hue.
the color spectrum is made up of red blue and yellow. Now lets think about how in every secondary color it is made up of either red blue or yellow. Hope this helps have a great day.
