Let me suggest that perhaps his use of tone might also be referring to a painting that points to sunset, or a night scene where the "tone" of the whole painting is "dark" even in the light places . . . or a "high noon" painting where everything, even the darks, are "lighter?"<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />broker12https://www.blogger.com/profile/06847087732827334328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-24666251236108893682020-01-12T13:11:51.158-05:002020-01-12T13:11:51.158-05:00Broker, Glenn is right: We usually use the word &q...Broker, Glenn is right: We usually use the word "tone" to refer to the relative lightness or darkness of a given color mixture. The actual luminance is relative whatever stands in for white and black in the surface color of the object. Here I think the author is using "tone" in a broader sense, as he says, a kind of "unifying mystery of colour that permeates a picture." Taking his discussion out of context might make it a little vague and confusing, but if I understand him right, he means "tone" as a holistic effect of chroma, value, hue working together to create a sense of atmosphere, depth, and unity.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-83904184027900142202020-01-12T12:52:10.641-05:002020-01-12T12:52:10.641-05:00

Hue is the colour family (reds, blue, yellow, etc.) Value is how dark or light the colour is, some refer to value as “tone”, and chroma is a colour’s intensity.Glenn Taithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694558143243106035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-26048277091591777352020-01-12T12:43:49.592-05:002020-01-12T12:43:49.592-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Glenn Taithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694558143243106035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-86616487832380704252020-01-12T09:34:12.640-05:002020-01-12T09:34:12.640-05:00James . . . for some reason, this post reawakened... James . . . for some reason, this post reawakened in me the need to ask (beg) someone like you to please explain the difference between hue, chroma, tone, color, and especially tone. Is tone a color. If it's a color, why not call it color. I believe hue is color, and chroma is the intensity of color. I think I have that right . . . don't I? But tone and color . . . ??? Is tone a veiled reference the value of the color under discussion?broker12https://www.blogger.com/profile/06847087732827334328noreply@blogger.com
