 Rainbows

The first thing I thought of when I read the word tones was how very difficult it is to explain followed by the thought of a lovely rainbow.
Tones falling into 2 very interconnected areas of Light and Sound.
Just as the Artist strives to capture the beauty of a rainbow in his work,
Much beauty can be found in the scientists mathematical equations of rainbows.
Just as a rainbows beauty may be captured in a poem.
The more we have learned about how the universe is measured, the broader has become our understanding of the rainbow.
We have learned that an instrument called a spectroscope is modern sciences most important tool in understanding the physical nature of the universe.
The basic principle the spectroscope employs was first discovered by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666; A ray of sunlight passing through a prism will divide into the seven colours of the rainbow. Sir Isaac called this seven coloured bodies of light the spectrum: meaning apparition, spectre or ghost. No one really knows why Sir Isaac chose this name but I would presume it is because the seven colours that make up white light are hidden to the naked eye without special means just like an apparition.
Almost anywhere we care to look we can find rainbows:
Ever looked at a nasty wound healing or a badly stubbed toe, as the wound changes colour from dark purple/blue to a greenish colour before returning to angry red and then the pink of health- a spectral sequence.
The colours a star goes through if you have ever watched a twinkling star as it changes colour from it’s birth till it’s death is a spectral sequence.
We find rainbow’s at both ends of the finite spectrum. 
If we look at an atom very, very closely
We will find that it is not a solid lump but made of electrons dancing around a nucleus of seven spheres, the motion of each sphere giving us the seven colours of the rainbow.
Now we need to make some sort of explanation as to why light can appear in different colours.
This is due to the frequency of the light waves.
Light and Sound are both carried by waves and in fact are wave forms.
These waves can be thick or thin, long or short, wavy or straight depending on how fast or slow the atoms electrons are being moved about the nucleus and how the 7 shells of the nucleus are charged, in a positive or negative direction.
As I was taught to make a tone you use a base colour, such as Red/Blue/Yellow and add small amounts of black.
Each time you do this you create a tone. A variation of the original pigment.
Black nor white is considered a colour.
The same applies pretty much to the musical scale also being made of seven notes, eight being the repeat of C to form an octave.
Tones are variations of these pure notes and write a mathematical formulae can be gotten from such tones, as is well demonstrated by the kiddies book first produced in the 70’s as the rainbow book.
I have so much more to convey on Tone, Tonal quality and perceptions of.
The use of crystal to refine and amplify tone and therefore light and sound.
