Understanding Color Shades and Tints

Tints are created by adding white to a base color, making it lighter. They're perfect for creating a softer, more delicate feel in your designs.

Shades are created by adding black to a base color, making it darker. They add depth and richness to your color palette.

Monochromatic colors are variations of a single color with different saturation and brightness levels, creating a cohesive and harmonious look.

When to Use Color Shades

• UI Design: Create consistent button states (hover, active, disabled) using shades of your primary color.
• Typography: Use darker shades for headings and lighter tints for body text to create visual hierarchy.
• Backgrounds: Subtle tints make excellent background colors that don't compete with your content.
• Data Visualization: Use a range of shades to represent different data points while maintaining a cohesive look.
