Which term describes the lighter value of a hue produced by adding white?
Correct Answer:
Tint
Explanation:
In color theory, value is how light or dark a color is. When you mix a hue with white, you raise its lightness while keeping the color family the same. That lighter version is called a tint. Tints are the pastel, airy versions of the original color, like red plus white making pink or blue plus white making baby blue. A tone, by contrast, comes from adding gray, which dulls the color and lowers saturation. A shade is created by adding black, making the color darker. The hue itself is simply the color name (red, blue, etc.) without changing its lightness.
