Tone, in this example, is the effect of the water falling down the conch sink. The tone starts off light at the top of the spout and gets darker as it works its way to the drain. This sink is interesting, because it plays on the use of tonal range using depth and basic elements. The closest basic element to tone for this context would be texture. This sink is designed with rivets around the conch shell to create a flowing visual effect for the water and to also show depth. The rivets start out long at the top and get smaller towards the bottom. I picked this piece because it was cleverly designed and makes the user feel as if they are using a sink from a fossil. The sink almost creates a 3D effect the way the light hits it. The color of the sink is a dark sea foam green. There is black in this color, probably because it does not want to take away from the design/shape of the sink. This sink does not need any bright colors, the sink even if were gray would still stay interesting to the viewer. The color does not use any harmonic relationships since it is only one color. I would say the basic element related to the sinks color would be lines. The lines used in this design create color depths for the viewer to look at. The rivets, create different scales of the initial color to keep the viewer interested.
