Information: There are many different ways to describe color. Some are more saturated than others, some are really tinted with white, etc. But, how do we create a shade of color? Just by common sense, we know we can mix different colors together to create more tinted, saturated, shaded, etc. colors.
Answer: To create a shade of color, you must first be able to create the color you are looking for. Once the color is created, mix in a darker color, preferably black, and you'll have a different shade of your color. To create a tint of color, create the color you are looking for, then mix in a lighter color.
