Value; the lightness (tint) or darkness (shade) of a colour. i.e. Navy is a dark value of Blue, whereas Cyan is a light value.
When producing artwork, value is used in many different ways such as representing the effect of light on an object (highlights or shadows), this helps create the illusion depth by using gradients. Value can also be used in a contrasting method to create emphasis in a piece; a dark figure in a light environment or like-wise a light figure in a dark environment.
