Tint A tint is a color created when a solid color is mixed with white, creating a lighter version of the color. In contrast, a "shade" is a color mixed with black to create a darker version of the color. In printing and color reproduction, a tint refers to a variation of a base color achieved by adding white or another lightening agent to lighten or dilute the color's intensity. Tints are commonly used to create subtle variations in color, achieve pastel shades, or adjust the brightness and saturation of colors in printed materials. Tints play a vital role in color matching, color correction, and color harmony in graphic design, illustration, and printing. |
