Artist's tip (White up, black down): Tint = colour + white (lighter): pink, sky blue, light green, lilac, pale yellow. Shade = colour + black (darker): maroon, navy blue, dark green, bottle green, dark purple. Tone = colour + grey. Mixing a tint, start with white and add colour a little at a time; a row from white to black is a value scale.
