Colour intensity
How much the base covers, how it catches the light and where the colour sits. A reference photo is not a shade match.
What to notice
Read each definition and look for the detail it names. Related terms overlap, and a name alone cannot tell you the method or the result.
These drawings explain a term. They are not anyone’s work or results.
