Midtones

All of the parts of an image that are neither its highlights nor its shadows. These are bright areas of the picture that, if the picture were to be converted to black and white, would appear to be a shade of gray rather than either black or white. These areas coincide with the primary and secondary centers of the histogram graph in a histogram.
