Web Development, Design & Programming

While you don’t necessarily have to remember all of these technical terms, you should be familiar with the actual concepts, especially if you want to master part 3 of this series (in which we create our own color schemes). To that end, here’s a cheat sheet to jog your memory:Hue is color (blue, green, red, etc.).Chroma is the purity of a color (a high chroma has no added black, white or gray).Saturation refers to how strong or weak a color is (high saturation being strong).Value refers to how light or dark a color is (light having a high value).Tones are created by adding gray to a color, making it duller than the original.Shades are created by adding black to a color, making it darker than the original.Tints are created by adding white to a color, making it lighter than the original.
