Definition - Tone

Tone is defined as the lightness or darkness of something. It can be a shade or how dark/light an object can be. Tone can set the mood of a piece of photography. E.g, a photograph with lots of dark tones would create a dark mood, however a piece with lots of light tones will create a lighter mood.
There can be a large range of tones,ranging from dark to light, or there can be two very clear and contrasting tones.
A word to describe the range of tone is Gamut.
