Tint, Tone and ShadeRead this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Elements of Design and other Graphic Design topics. Tint, Tone and ShadeAll elements of design have value. They range from 1% to 100% white on a black background and from 1% to 100% black on a white background. Value adds contrast, movement, direction and depth. Atmospheric values show distance. Can you imagine a black wedding dress among a sea of white tuxedos? Or a black tank in a desert? Values help an object recede or stand out. A value is not as powerful as color when creating a mood, but if your values don't work, color won't save you. Tint = White + Color |
