Although the terms tint, shade, and tone fall within the elementary level of color theory, the terms tend to be used carelessly and without regard to their proper definition. It's amazing how often I've heard someone say something along the lines of, "That is my favorite shade of red." More often than not it's not a shade at all. A proper understanding of tint, shade, and tone is essential to development of quality artwork. The ability to properly evalute art with a common understanding of terms is a trait of any good artist. Miscommunication could be costly.
