For my tints, I Chose to do 50% light for the middle, and 10% for the lightest one.  Task 3  For the last task, I was to make nameplates out of my swatches. While I'm a little disappointed in how the green and blue interacted but I am impressed with the last one, where the green and blue seem to go well with the pink.
