Definition - Tone

Dictionary Definition - a form or degree of a colour

Words to describe tone - chromatic, bright, dark, contrast, grey scale


This image is showing the tone of the two hands, the females hand is lighter and the males darker. Also the background around these two arms is darker. 

There is tone shown in this photograph because you can see that there is some lightness in the lines which travel down the leaf and the darkness of the shadow under the light.

Although this image is not in black and white like most images which show tone, it still shows tone as both the colours in the leaves are of a bright nature and the surrounding water is dark.


This photograph shows tone as it shows the lightness of the mountains in the background and the darkness of the mountains in the foreground, from this photograph I can interpret that this is due to shadows which have been caused by natural lighting. 










My definition - Tone is the lightness or darkness of a colour
