If you have only previously used your intuition in choosing colors and are unfamiliar with basic color terminology and strategy, here are some key fundamentals.

Hue
the word used to describe a basic color range. For example, light blue, mid-tone blue, and dark blue are all hues of blue.

Chromaticness
colors can be very close to primary shades, or they can be mixed with white, black, and other colors. When they lack a mixture of these other colors, they are highly chromatic, saturated, and primary. This makes them very stimulating. It is difficult to combine different hues of highly chromatic colors because this makes for a loud scheme susceptible to clashing.

Value
this describes the amount of white and black used to create a color that is moving away from a pure chromatic hue.

Tint
as a color moves toward a pastel shade, it will include more white

Shade
as a color becomes darker, it will include more black; sometimes referred to as nuance

Tone
a color that has gray added to it (white + black) becomes muted chromatically. Darker shades are denser and less reflective.
