Tone Tone refers to the degree of lightness or darkness of a color, often described in terms of its brightness or value. In visual arts, tone is an essential aspect of color theory and perception, influencing the overall mood, contrast, and visual impact of an image or artwork. Tones range from light to dark along a grayscale or tonal scale, with lighter tones containing more white or lightness and darker tones containing more black or darkness. Adjusting tone can alter the perceived depth, form, and spatial relationships within an image, affecting its composition and emotional resonance. |
