- Intensity scale, with two complementary colors on either end, blending towards a neutral color in the center (brown or gray mixed from the two complements)
- Scale from a warm light version of a color (Add yellow and more water) to a cool dark version of a color (add blue). (Example, a light yellow-green transitioning to a dark blue-green).
