Identifies the value of individual hues:


Use the uniquely shaped contours and surrounding grays:
• To surround any hue/color for an accurate value reading.
• To interpret value differences or contrasts between hues.
• To view hues of any value and compare colors correctly with those of
surrounding objects, distant or near.
Mid-gray absorbs and reflects equal amounts
of white light, allowing the viewer to see hues
correctly without the influence of other colors.

Raising or lightening the value of a hue:


Lightening pigment hues with white changes the absorption/reflection levels of white
light, raising the value of the original hue, and placing the lightened hue into a new
category of a chromatic white neutral which reflects only 3 to 5% of the original hue, or
a tint of the original hue. This depends on the amount of white added.
(Tints are often referred to as pastels).
Using the
TM

will help determine the new value levels.

Lowering or deepening the value of a hue:


Deepening a hue with black, gray or a complementary
color (colors directly opposite on The Color Wheel™), lowers the value level, darkening
the hue and reducing the intensity of the original color. Deepening with black now places
the hue into a new category of a chromatic black neutral, which reflects only 3 to 5% of
the original hue, or a shade of the original hue, depending on the amount of black
added. Deepening with gray or a complement creates
a tone, which subdues or dulls the original color.
Using the
TM

will help determine the new value levels.
