Monochromatic colors show the variations in lightness and saturation of a single hue.
Which one is an example of complementary colors?
Red-green, orange-blue, and yellow-violet are all examples of complementary colors. Observe how these are opposite hues in the color wheel. These high-contrast and vibrant color combinations are perfect for active rooms!
What do you get when you add white to a hue?
When you add white to a hue, you’ll get the tint of that color. For example, if you add white to red, you’ll get pink, which is a tint of red. When you’re painting and you want to reduce the darkness of a color, you can add white paint to colorants or ready-mixed paint.
What do you get when you add gray to a hue?
Tones are created when you add grey (both black and white) to a particular hue. In painting, you add grey to colorants or ready-mixed paint to lessen the intensity of a color.
What do you get when you add black to a hue?
Adding black to a hue gives birth to shades! Shades are perfect for spaces where you want to create a moody and dramatic atmosphere. If you’re mixing your own colors, do this by adding black paint to colorants or ready-mixed paint.

1:16 is the magic ratio of Boysen Colorant to Boysen paint. For example, if you have 1 liter of colorant, then you need 16 liters of white paint. Follow this ratio at all times to keep the stability of the paint.
