Definition of High- and Low-Keyed Colors
A key is not only what you carry in your pocket to unlock doors! Key, as it relates to color, is the amount of lightness and darkness. High-keyed colors are often referred to as pastel colors, and low-keyed colors are often referred to as dark colors. Also, in fine art, key is often referred to as value.
 * High-keyed colors = Pastel colors = Light-valued colors; Colors mixed with white (White is the strongest high-keyed color)
 * Low-keyed colors = Dark colors = Dark-valued colors; Colors mixed with black or gray (Black is the strongest low-keyed color)
