I've lined up all of the paints on my palette in their full intensity, matched with their tints. Straight out of the tube, some of the paints' Mass Tones are so dark that it's not easy to tell what color it is. Other paints' Mass Tones are naturally lighter in the palette, so it's easier to see what is its color.
Mass Tone + White = Tint
In watercolor, the paper represents the white so Mass Tone + H2O = Tint
