Contrast by value also known as atmospheric perspective refers to the technique of creating an illusion of depth by depicting distant objects as paler, less detailed, and usually duller than near objects. This technique was introduced in painting by Leonardo da Vinci to portray what was observed in nature and evident in his interest in optics.
It capture the effect that atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as viewed from a distance. As the distance between an object and a viewer increases, the contrast between the object and its background decreases, and the contrast of any markings or details within the object also decreases.
