Which sentence explains the use of tone most correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Adding grey can reduce a colour’s intensity, making it appear muted and controlled.
A tone is produced by adding grey to a colour. This reduces the colour’s intensity or saturation, giving it a muted, balanced and controlled appearance. Adding white produces a tint, while adding black produces a shade; therefore, A and B do not define tone accurately. Exam tip: remember: tint–white, shade–black, tone–grey.
