<p>Hi Bill,<br>
Tone is the degree of grayness. if the subject has color, imagine taking away its color; What remains is its tone.<br>
Absensce of any tone makes a subject bright (light gray/white).<br>
Presence of a tone makes a subject Dark (Dark gray/black)<br>
A white wall or a white piece of paper has almost no tone whereas Black velvet is dense, that is why it looks black.<br>
