Art Lessons Tone, Value, Hue & Shading

SEE MY "ART LESSONS DRAWING" BOARD FOR MUCH MORE ABOUT SHADING... According to most accepted color theory: Value = the range of light and dark within either neutrals or colors. Black is at one extreme, white at the other. Tone = a color mixture that is not pure color hue (such as the highest chroma for a given color), and not black and not white. This mixture is an intermediate (can also be blend of hues). In other words, if you were to take a pure color and add grey, you would have Tone.
