Tints of a color are made by adding white.
Tints are made by adding white. In other words, add varying amounts of white to your base color to make tints of it. Likewise, add black to your base color to make shades.
To dye or color.
Adding Ardell Unred to 30 V. developer will not have any affect on the hair. Unred is made to be mixed with both hair color and developer, not developer alone.
This is called value, the ability to create shades and tints for a 3 dimensional feeling. Shades are created by adding black to a colour, while tints are created by adding white to a colour.
There are four major terms used to describe colors. The three primary and three secondary colors are the only ones that are correctly called colors. All other colors are either tints, hues, or shades. Tints are formed by adding white to lighten the color. Hues are formed by mixing colors in different ratios of the component colors Shades are formed by adding black to the original color.
Spectrum
The color of light is made by adding all of the colors of parts of light, called wavelengths, together. Color is made by removing certain wavelengths of the light, and white is made by adding them all together. Black is the absence of light, so instead of adding a color of light to red, you will subtract the red light and leave no light.
You use both black and white to create shades of a color. Black makes them darker while white makes them lighter. Tints are created by adding bits of color (more easily described as the primaries) to another so that they lend themselves closer to the warmer side as opposed to the cooler and/or a particular family of color. For example: say you have a bright canary yellow and you want to make it a warmer. You would "tint" it with red to achieve that affect. You also have warm grays and cool grays. You create your gray by mixing black and white together and "shades" of that gray are determined by how much of each color is in that mix. You then make a warmer gray by adding red, a cooler gray by adding blue. This is a VERY basic explaination. Also remember that black is the presense of all color (yellow being the most dominant) and white is the absense of it.
Monochromatic refers to the use of a single color in a variety of tints and shades.
hair type, eye distance, eye size, eyebrow color, and red color tints in the hair. :)
Oil and latex paints are tinted with the same universal tints. There are specific tints that only work in solvent based paints however.
Adding black to a color will create a darker version of the color.
