May God bless you in your marriage, or in your search for a spouse. Janine

HUES are main colors, such as primary colors (Red, Blue, Yellow) that you get without mixing in any white or black. TINTS have white added to the hue color. TONES have gray added to the hue color. SHADES have black added to the hue color. I discuss how grouping your clothes by color on your bed makes it easier to see the different tints, tones, and shades of your clothing colors.  Does one stand out as not matching the rest?
