: The lightness or darkness of tones, ranging from white to black. Preattentive Visual Properties

In creative and technical design, visual properties are often categorized into seven primary elements used to communicate messages and create impact:

: Two-dimensional, flat areas defined by boundaries like lines or color changes (e.g., squares, circles). visual property
