Tone colour is music terminology used to describe what you hear (the sound is rich, eerie, piercing etc), to identify the performing media (instruments used in the piece of music being played) and to describe how the sounds are being produced (e.g. strumming a guitar, plucking the strings of a violin, scraping a cymbal on a drumkit etc).
