The term monochrome comes from ancient Greek monochromes, meaning having one colour. A monochromic image is one composed of values of one colour, that is a presentation of a single colour in different shades. This just means that a single colour is depicted in different values and intensities. The colour remains the same but the elements that differ are brightness, lightness, darkness or dullness of the colour. The values and intensities become different when the main colour is mixed with black, white or gray. The weighting of all these individual components is selected to achieve a desired effect and allows a wide range of artistic expression. The images show us the many monochrome compositions when only using the all-time favourite colours black and white. Not to mention all other options when adding components like different materials, surfaces and patterns.
