Talk:Tint, shade and tone

Tone by complementary color
A commonly employed technique by painters to establish a desired tone is to blend a color with its complementary counterpart, for example red with cyan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfrittman (talk • contribs) 22:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

What are pastel colors?
Pastel colors is a redirect to this article, but this article doesn't even use the word pastel. --Jtir (talk) 15:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed to redirect to Color theory, which uses the word pastel. --Jtir (talk) 22:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I think to pastel colors probably refers to a color properties inherited by the scientific properties of chromic phenomena such as heat, lossness (?in compression as colors get compressed, the each colors properties within the spectrum becomes hidden).

Questions: In tint theory, does tint increases the texture softness of the color and generate ambiance when exposed to very bright light or surrounding radiance?--75.154.186.241 (talk) 01:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Reference issue
Quote, "or a color's complement. My art teacher says "Tint means to add white and Shade is to add black." "

Should Wikipedia really be sourcing "my art teacher."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.250.252.34 (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2012 (UTC)


 * My art teacher taught us red, yellow and blue were the three primary colors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.122.183.107 (talk) 22:00, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * This article is nonsense. It maybe reflects the use of the terms in some American English, but definitely not the meaning in color science. Mixing with black, white or gray is the same action in color science: changing the saturation of the color. In fact, white, black and gray are the same exact "color": white. They are just different luminance levels of the same white. 185.145.28.7 (talk) 06:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
