Color Category‑class | |||||||

Since the description of this category is "Colors resembling orange," this category should be moved to Category:Variations of orange because shades of a color only deal with similar colors that are darker, and more strictly darker versions of that same hue. Jecowa 05:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree that it should be changed, basically any art teacher/professor will tell you a shade is created by adding black, a tint by adding white, and a tone by adding grey. Also, most of the 'shades of grey' are simply tones of other colors, rather than different values of grey. I fully support the change to 'variations' for all colors. from an art education standpoint, keeping these terms straight seems like a good idea. I support it enough i'd simply do it, but i don't know wiki formating well enough. -- Goldkear ( talk) 17:37, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Change In colour theory, a tint is a colour mixed with white, and a shade is a colour with black. Less specifically, either can be used to describe various values or tones: variations in brightness (with a constant hue and chroma [a.k.a. saturation or intensity]). Tint and shade also commonly refer to all kinds of variations in a colour, but there's no point in naming encyclopedic categories with such an imprecise and potentially confusing use of terminology. — Michael Z. 2012-04-22 18:43 z
Artistically, a shade of a color is a darker or more black form of the color, while a tint is the lighter or more white from of the color. A hue is the original pure color. Therefore, the category might be changed to Category:Hue variations (orange). Enonesohc 14:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Orange-red & Vermillion are not the same on the page, yet Orange-red links to Vermillion.
