{{main|Shades of red}}

Varieties of the color red may differ in [[hue]], [[colorfulness|chroma]] (also called saturation, intensity, or colorfulness), or [[lightness]] (or value, tone, or [[brightness]]), or in two or three of these qualities. Variations in value are also called [[tints and shades]], a tint being a red or other hue mixed with white, a shade being mixed with black. Four examples are shown below.
