Above is an example of the color-wheel collage.
Below is an example of what the tint/shade/tonal scale should look like.
Alert:
You should make a scale with 3 horizontal rows consisting of 9 squares,
not 11 pictured here.
1. The center square in each row is pure color. For instance, the bottom row center square is pure blue. Then to the left of pure color add increasing amounts of white for a tint scale and to the right, increasing amounts of black for shade.
2. The center square in the second row is approximately 50% orange and 50% blue, to result in a color that is neither orange or blue, a Neutral tone. To the left, add increasing amounts of orange and to the right increasing amounts of blue for a complimentary color tonal scale.
3. Top row is the same as the bottom row, but with orange as the central square of pure color.
As you are painting your tints, shades and tones, be sure to number or otherwise label the color swatches. As you can see the orange-y neutrals look very similar to the orange-y blacks. This is due to the fact that the orange in both cases are very similar, only changed slightly by the addition of either blue or black, and black may infact contain a little blue and vice versa.
You may choose any set of compliments: Red and Green, Purple and Yellow or Blue and Orange.
