Tone & Color

In this example, the tone of the image is mainly found in the background of the design. Tone is operating in this particular image because there are different tonal values of blue and purple. If the tones of blue and purple were absent, we would not be able to distinguish the movement of the coloring in the sky. The character placed in the center of the image is made with duller colors, which provides a "pop-out" effect since it is surrounded by vibrant shades of blues and purples, with touches of yellows and greens. 
Texture and tone interact in this image. At the upper portion of the image, you can notice a circular texture that someone depicts a water wave. The texture gradient definitely communicates depth. It also creates interest as one may feel curious to touch the wave. 

In this example, harmonic color schemes are involved. As you can see, the blue and purple areas of the image easily attract the eyes, as it naturally blends in with one another. Brighter colors are also added in the center of the image, which provides a pleasing consistency throughout the entire image since all of the colors mesh well together. The colors presented in this photo gives us sense of balance and coordination. Also, with the fading of the sky, the color choice allows us to feel a certain type of mood, as each color links to emotion.  
In this example, color interacts with scale. The character placed in the center is made much larger than the character placed on top of the bigger character's body.
