Monochromatic Color

Monochromatic Color based on one single hue which remains with the spectrum same range. Monochrome color schemes have only one color, while analogous color runs have at least three colors. "Monochrome" is from two Greek words, mono meaning "one" and chromo meaning, "color." A monochrome scheme includes the hue and all of its shades and tints. For instance, a maroon, red, light red and pink composition is a monochrome scheme. Any monochrome color scheme may also have black and white in it.

Plate C. Author
