Pick your favourite colour and paint one section, then a make a tint of this colour by adding a small bit of white and paint the next slice, keep doing this until you reach the palest shade of your favourite colour. So you should have one row of your favourite colour progressively lighter. If you are not at the end of the row when you reach your lightest tint then get the reverse effect by making your tints getting progressively darker till you reach back to your favourite colour.
In the next section do the same but this time create a shade by adding black so your favourite colour is getting progressively darker. TIP you only need a tiny bit of black each time, too much will make too dark too quickly!!
