Screens and Shades

The colour palette can be increased by using screens and shades that originate Pantone 7544

from the primary colours. The lighter tints are created by screening the primary colours against white. The darker tints (shades) are created by adding black to the primary colours. The tints shown here are examples of this range. Additional screens and shades can be used according to the needs of the application.
