Here's a nice list of some hints and cheats as well as a list of Secret Achievement Descriptions (spoilers ahead).

Hints



 - Achievements with no mode stated can be done in any mode
 - Swatches refers to all the drag-able squares whereas Colors refers to all the squares except
    for grey

   different swatches on the tone scale and press space
