What does adding white to a pure hue create?

• A. Hue
• B. Tone
• C. Tint
• D. Shade

Answer: (C)

When you add white to a pure color, you lighten it while keeping the same basic color identity. That lighter version is called a tint. For example, red plus white becomes pink, blue plus white becomes light blue. This is different from a tone, which adds gray and dulls the color, or a shade, which adds black and makes it darker. A pure color without any mixing is simply its hue. So, mixing in white yields a tint.
