tinter tint'er n.

1. Different colors derived from a single color, such as powder blue from blue or rose from red, that are created by varying the amount of white mixed into the color or showing through the color. Ink color charts, which are used to order color printing, provide samples of various standard tints, with quantified strengths of color, such as 50% or 25% of full color. The charts include tints composed of one primary color or combinations of two primary colors.
