Tint is a mixture of a color with white, which reduces darkness. Tint lightens the color, but it doesn’t make it brighter. Furthermore, even a small amount of White added to a color, transforms it into a Tint. Therefore a Tint can range from slightly lighter than your original color, all the way to White with barely any of the color mixed in.
