Thanks for the article. It is well written, and sufficiently broken-up.
Question: How many tones/shades of what types of colors do you have to have for any design (eg. light/medium/dark, danger/success/accent)? I always have trouble preemptively choosing shades.

I usually have around 5 shades for every color I use and it works really well. You can use this tool, maketintsandshades.com/ to generate your shades! Sorry for the late reply
