COLOR BASICS

What are tints and shades?

Tints and shades extend one base color into a flexible palette while preserving its character.

Lighter

Tints

A tint is created by mixing a color with white. Higher percentages produce lighter, softer colors that work well for backgrounds, subtle states, and highlights.

Darker

Shades

A shade is created by mixing a color with black. Higher percentages produce deeper colors that are useful for text, borders, emphasis, and active states.
