Balance

1. The stability or efficiency resulting from the equalization or exact adjustment of opposing forces. A steadiness resulting from the proper adjustment to one another of all elements, when no one element or constituting force outweighs or is out of proportion to another.

2. An aesthetically pleasing integration of elements (as in a work of art) usually achieved by giving each element only its due prominence or significance and often by allowing one element to stand in contrast to, oppose, or otherwise be matched by another.
