Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.
It is the most valuable and crucial element because it dictates the colors of an image which dictates the mood. Color is vital in images; consequently, contrast and the range of contrast between light and dark is vital to the image's effect. A broad range of value is more striking and profound than a limited range of value which is more dull or hazy. For instance, the first image below has a strong range of value. The bright yellowish green is made even more potent when put against the black of the shadows. However, the second image has an opposite effect because its limited range of value. The color scheme established by a small range of value adds to the image's dreamy, hazy effect.
