Definition post - Tone

Definition post - Tone:

Definition of tone: to harmonise with (someone) in terms of colour.

Describing words for tone: attitude, mood, colourful, colourless, cold. emotion, emotionless. 

I have chosen to include this picture because it shows tone through the use of the grey colours. The different shades of grey help to see the different elements of the picture. The fact that some of the tones are lighter than others means that some are a general lighter colour than the other. The tone in this picture helps create emotional and intriguing atmosphere.  

I have chosen to include this picture because it shows how tone can be used to alter a picture and still let it look like a natural setting. The light grey almost white colour allows the idea of sunlight coming through into the setting. I think that the tone in this picture creates quite a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

The use of the dark tone in this picture helps to create the feeling of night time, yet the use of the light tones creates a more busy street like feel of the image. The use of tone in this picture helps to create the setting without it being so clear to the human eye.

The tone in this picture creates quiet a lonely desolate atmosphere, The use of the lighter colour to focus on the end of the picture helps to create the element of depth as well as help to create the atmosphere as it shows that a small amount of sunlight is seeping through.

My definition: the use of colour to create a atmosphere within a image.
