Tint

A tint is a variation of color achieved by adding white to a base hue. This process lightens the original color, resulting in a softer and often pastel shade. Tints are used in various fields, including art, design, and interior decorating, to create subtle color variations and to achieve a specific mood or aesthetic. By adjusting the amount of white added, different intensities of the tint can be achieved, allowing for a wide range of visual effects. For instance, adding white to red produces pink, while adding white to blue creates a range of light blue shades. Tints are essential for creating depth and contrast in visual compositions, as well as for harmonizing color palettes.
