Phrase | shading |
Text | The word "shading," in this podcast, means a gray area behind text or objects, used for emphasis and visual interest: "The shading on this brochure is too dark, and it makes it very hard to read the text." Or, "I'm amazed by how that artist uses shading to add depth to his drawings." As a verb, "to shade" means to protect something from light, or to prevent light from falling directly onto something: "Cris shaded his eyes with his hand as he looked toward the mountains." Or, "Those huge trees shade the house, keeping it cooler in the summer." As a noun, a "shade" is a tone or color: "Which shade of lipstick do you like better: bright red or soft red?" |
