Solution

The color intensity or darkness of a color is determined by the ratio of the color to the white paint. The higher the ratio of color to white, the darker the shade.

For the daisies, the ratio of purple to white is 5:2, or 2.5.

For the tulips, the ratio of purple to white is 6:3, or 2.

Therefore, the daisies are a darker shade of purple than the tulips.
