Tone Shades of light reflected from an object refers to the dominant wavelength to determine what kind of different wavelengths produce different colors of feeling, tone color is an important feature, which determines the nature of the fundamental characteristics of color Does not refer to the nature of color shades, but the overall color of a painting of summary evaluation. Tone is the fundamental piece of work tends to color appearance. In lightness, purity, hue these three elements, certain factors play a leading role, we call it a certain hue. While a painting with a variety of colors, but overall there is a tendency to be biased blue or reddish, and so is warmer or colder. This tendency is a pair of paintings on color hue. Usually a piece of work can be defined shades from hue, lightness, air purity in four areas. Warm and cool colors into shades in warm and cold areas: red, orange, yellow - as warm, symbolizes: the sun, the flame. Green, blue, black - for the cool colors, symbolizing: forest, sea, blue sky. Gray, purple, white - for the mid-tones; higher brightness of cool colors, the overall feel more warm, warm colors and higher brightness, the overall feeling is more cool. Only relatively warm and cold colors, say, among the red line, red and Rose together, red is warm, but Rose will be seen as cool, and if, Rose and Violet appears simultaneously , Rose is warm. For example in the following painting portraits This painting has a clear tone. This is from the red hue tone perspective. Dark tone, speaking from the lightness. Warm tone from warm and cold for. Gray tone from the purity of it. Another less commonly used method is defined. If a painting contrasts very strongly, called long tone, if called chiaroscuro weak short tone. Other intervening called the tune. Most of this picture brightness darker, while the high brightness of the eye. Could be said to be a long tone. However, due to the small size of the wise, it is generally seen as a short tone. Like the green area is too small so we can say is not said to be red, green and red tones tone. In short, the overall tone is the trend, rather than dwell on them certain details. Tone very important piece of work, if the work does not have a uniform color, it will appear disorganized.
