The color/number system helps you choose colors that

will blend nicely to create depth in your color range.

The last number indicates how

light or dark the shade is.
For highlights, pick a last number with a value of 0,
1, 2, or 3. For mid tones, choose numbers 4, 5, or
6. For shadows, choose colors with a last number
of 7, 8, or 9. For best results, try to keep a 2 or 3
digit difference between your colors.
