I use the world "tonal" a bit loosely, which to a colour expert is reckless!
I refer to tonal dressing as MATCHED, TONAL, and MONOCHROMATIC. All of which mean slightly different things. But no matter the colour, the visual effect is low contrast.
I’m agreeing with Angie, who agrees with me, ha ha!
I think there are lots of ways of doing tonal. I think some of the outfits that Angie showed in Irina’s thread had a kind of tonal colourblocking effect (distinct blocks of analogous colours), which is quite different from a column of colour (monochrome) or from a shaded effect (the same colour in different intensities). But all are tonal.
