How do you create a tint?

A tint is created by adding white to a color. This process lightens the original color, making it softer and paler. Tints are often used in graphic design and art to create a sense of lightness or to modify a color's intensity, allowing for a wider range of shades that can enhance visual compositions.

Other methods, such as adding black, create shades, which darken the original hue. Mixing with grey changes the color's vibrancy and can lead to various tones but does not produce a tint. Adding a primary color does not necessarily result in a tint; it mixes colors rather than lightening them. Thus, adding white is the definitive method for creating a tint.
