This is a text defending abstract art by an Argentine painter from the early 20th century. I think "valor" may mean simply color here:
Esto es, no basta no representar objetos fácilmente reconocibles; lo que es necesario abolir del cuadro es la ley por la cual dos tintas o dos valores determinan la representación de un espacio.
Thanks!

value/brightness/intensity
I would go for brightness or intensity, as "value" is potentially ambiguous.
"El modelo HSV (del inglés Hue, Saturation, Value – Matiz, Saturación, Valor), también llamado HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness – Matiz, Saturación, Brillo), define un modelo de color en términos de sus componentes."
"HSV stands for hue, saturation, and value, and is also often called HSB (B for brightness)."
"El modelo HSV (del inglés Hue, Saturation, Value – Matiz, Saturación, Valor), también llamado HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness – Matiz, Saturación, Brillo), define un modelo de color en términos de sus componentes."

: Just a question: how would you phrase that in this context though, as it's talking about "two xxx"? You can't say two brighnesses or two intensities - which is why I think "two tones" or "tonalities" works here.

Without knowing for sure the intended meaning of "valor" as used here, I would take the safe road and use the most ambiguous term possible.

I also think this makes reference to the color of the painting.
