Yes, tone is correct.
thank u
You're welcome.
Yes, option C - "a shade" - correctly completes the sentence.
To determine the correct answer, let's understand the meanings of the options:
a) Tint: Tint refers to the process of adding white to a color, resulting in a lighter version of that color. It is not the process of mixing black and white together.
b) Tone: Tone refers to the overall quality of color, including its saturation and brightness. Mixing black and white does not change the tone of a color.
c) Shade: Shade refers to the process of adding black to a color, resulting in a darker version of that color. When black and white are mixed together, the resulting color is typically darker than the original color, so the term "shade" is appropriate.
d) Hue: Hue refers to the pure state of a color, without any added black or white. Mixing black and white with a hue creates a variation of that color, rather than fulfilling the condition in the sentence.
Therefore, since the sentence states that black and white are mixed together to add to a color, the correct option that completes the sentence is "a shade" (option C).
