Color Theory Basics Part 2: Shade - 11/28/09 09:05 PM
Here's the next term in the series from Sherwin-Willams for describing color.
 
Shade. A color made darker by adding black to it. Navy is a shade of blue. This word is routinely used to describe any variation of color, even much lighter ones — take for example the 1960s song "A Whiter Shade of Pale" — so some clients may not understand that shades are darker than the base color.
