... mensagem desejada (e) no tom mais adequado.
Penso que é esta a acepção que melhor se aplica à palavra "tone" neste contexto: "The quality of something (an act or a piece of writing) that reveals the attitudes and presuppositions of the author". Assim sendo, optaria por uma tradução mais livre, como a acima indicada.
