Tint
A hue to which white has been added, producing a lighter, higher-value version of the original colour.
“Tints are typically used in outer or upper areas - the most intense values are reserved for the focal area.”
Tints carry high value - they reflect more light and tend to recede visually. Pink is a tint of red; pale lavender a tint of violet. In design, tints are typically used in outer or upper areas of an arrangement, where their lightness maintains colour balance. The most intense values are reserved for the focal area. Tints are the primary tool for creating a sense of air and openness.
