Scale of blue tones
- Part of Des couleurs et de leurs applications aux arts industriels à l'aide des cercles chromatiques
- 1864
Inscribed: "Manière dont Mr. Chevreul conçoit qu'une couleur qui est indéfinie en allant du blanc au noir est distinguée en parties définies qu'il appelle tons."
Chevreul presents the gamut of a pure color—blue—from light to dark along a 20-tone scale, where positions 0 and 21 correspond to white and black respectively. Figure 1 shows this graduation, while Figure 2 shows the graduation beneath a grid overlay. Figure 3 shows the graduation divided into its distinct tones within the grid.
