Cool site.
I notice it says that "A tint is created when you add white to a hue. .... you can create a tint by lowering the saturation value of your hue."
This is true in most paint programs, but shouldn't be. Moving a pure color like red to white is also an increase in value (i.e. brightness). So if you reduce saturation to zero while leaving the value the same, you should get a shade of gray (and it should be a darker shade if starting with purple/blue, as compared to say yellow)
I guess the way it tends to be done is so any combination of hue, saturation and value result in a valid color, but according to traditional color models such as Munsell, that shouldn't be true. (which is why the Munsell color solid is like a distorted sphere, rather than a cube) https://munsell.com/about-munsell-color/how-color-notation-works/munsell-color-space-and-solid/ https://munsell.com/about-munsell-color/how-color-notation-w...
