I got out my color wheel book like you said, but I am having a little trouble wiht terminology. The author, Hilary Paige, uses the terms desaturated, saturated, unsaturated and neutral to describe the movement of colors from the outside of the color wheel (desaturated) to the center (neutral). At least I think that is how it works. I hope someone will tell me if I am mixed up about that.
She defines saturation as "the amount of color perceived when compared to the amount of black or white". In a recent post the terms ‘tint’ and ‘shade’ were used. They are not mentioned in my book but Wikipedia, here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel
defines ‘tints’ as versions of color produced by adding white and ‘shades’ as color produced by adding black.
Are these terms talking about the same thing? Is it that saturation is used when talking about the pigment color wheel and tint/shade is used to talk about the contrast color wheel?
The final question I have is about the term ‘value’, obviously it has to be different than saturation but I don’t see how. Can someone explain how value differs from saturation?
TIA,
Ron
Thanks for the help on hues.
