What is created when black is added to a hue?

When black is added to a hue, the result is known as a shade. In color theory, a hue refers to the pure color itself, such as red, blue, or yellow. By adding black to this hue, the result is a darker version of the original color, which is classified as a shade. This alteration deepens the color's appearance and can create a more dramatic or sophisticated look in floral arrangements or other design applications.

The term "tone" refers to the result of adding gray (a mixture of black and white) to a hue, which modifies the color's brightness without completely darkening it. "Hue" itself is simply the name of the color and does not imply any modifications. "Intensity" refers to the brightness or saturation of a color, which can be affected by various factors, but specifically adding black categorizes the result as a shade.
