Tint

A tint is created when you add white to a color to lighten it. Tints are sometimes called pastel colors. They can range from nearly the full saturation of the hue to white.

Tinting a color also desaturates the hue, making it less intense. For example, tinted red becomes pink, and tinted blue becomes baby blue. Desaturated colors deemphasize content and can be used to guide users to focus on another area of the design.
