my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an ‘unpure-ness’ factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I’m being generous could be)
🤓 ☝️ Actually black and white are shades, not colours.
So is brown. Brown is dark orange.
From a colour theory perspective, tints are when you add white, tones are when you add grey and shades are when you add black.
I guess the hue and maybe saturation are undefined there according to most color models (HSL would have hue and saturation undefined for white but HSV would only have hue undefined)
