Which mixture creates a tint?

Correct answer: Adding white to a colour

The correct answer is B: a tint is made by adding white to a colour. Begin with a base colour such as red or blue. When white is mixed into it, the colour becomes lighter while its basic colour identity remains visible; pink can be understood as a light tint of red. A is incorrect because adding black produces a shade, which is a darker version of the colour. B is correct because white lightens the base colour and creates a tint. C is incorrect because a line is an element used in drawing and cannot create a tint by being mixed into paint. D is incorrect because removing a shadow is not a colour-mixing process. Remember the simple three-part cue: white plus colour equals tint, black plus colour equals shade, and grey plus colour generally equals tone. This distinction helps prevent the common confusion between tint and shade.
