What Are Tints and Shades?
Tints are created by adding white to a color, making it lighter. Shades are created by adding black, making the color darker. Together, they form a complete color scale that's essential for design systems.
Using Color Scales in Design
Color scales help create visual hierarchy, define hover and active states for UI elements, and ensure consistent color usage across a project. Most design systems use 9-11 steps in their color scales, typically numbered from 50 (lightest) to 900 (darkest).
