Value (colorimetry)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Value is how dark or how light something looks. It is one of the elements of art. Value changes in colors can be achieved by adding black or white to the color.

Chiaroscuro and Tenebrism both take advantage of dramatic contrasts of value to highten drama in art. Artists may also employ shading, subtle manipulation of value.
