Tints, Tones and Shades

Tints, tones and shades are basically different 'shades' of a pure colour. A tint is achieved by adding white to the selected pure colour, shade is when black is added to the colour and tone is when grey is added to the colour.

this meaning that a tint is lighter than the original colour, shade is darker than the original colour and a tone is softer than the original colour.
