Tone Definition
The tone of something means the lightness or darkness of an object or building or even a landscape. this could be a shade or how dark or light a colour appears. Tones are created by the way light falls on 3D object. This means that the parts of the object on which the light is strongest are called highlights and the darker areas are called shadows. Between highlights and shadows there will be a range of different tones. Without tone form does not exist.
