Category talk:Shades of orange

251:
The page primarily deals with varieties of organge i.e. not just colours which look similar to orange but which are orange. Amber, for example, doesn't just resemble orange it is a yellowish orange and therefore an orange no less then a hot pie is a pie. If we are to keep brown, on the other hand, then arguably we should also keep the "resembling" bit also. Perhaps something along the lines of "varieties of orange and other colours resembling orange" would be better.

The first point is interesting, however, should we change the title to fit the description or should we change the description to fit the title? As I see it the best thing might be to change either or both where necessary to fit the content. The description currently on the page is not complete.

I agree that it should be changed, basically any art teacher/professor will tell you a shade is created by adding black, a tint by adding white, and a tone by adding grey. Also, most of the 'shades of grey' are simply tones of other colors, rather than different values of grey. I fully support the

There really is no one single hue that is orange. Instead orange ranges (there's a pun there for you contempory Japanese music lovers) over a continuum of hue as it does over a continuum of tint. Of course, this second point in conjunction with the stricter sense of "shade" is only all the more

change to 'variations' for all colors. from an art education standpoint, keeping these terms straight seems like a good idea. I support it enough i'd simply do it, but i don't know wiki formating well enough. --

also commonly refer to all kinds of variations in a colour, but there's no point in naming encyclopedic categories with such an imprecise and potentially confusing use of terminology.

because shades of a color only deal with similar colors that are darker, and more strictly darker versions of that same hue.

Orange-red & Vermillion are not the same on the page, yet Orange-red links to Vermillion.
