COLOUR CLASS: VERMILION

‘Hue’ means a colour, and ‘shade’, ‘tone’ and ‘tint’ apply to variations on that colour, adding black, grey or white to achieve specific effects. This info will help you find the right colours and make decisions on choosing colours for projects.

Shade

Adding black to the original hue will give a rich, intense appearance.

Tone

Add grey to the original hue for subtle, sophisticated results.

Tint

Adding white to the original hue will make a softer, pastel palette.
