Monochromes

Monochrome means “one color”. It describes images, art, and designs made from a single hue combined with its different shades, tones, and tints.

While people often use “monochrome” to mean black-and-white, it actually applies to any single color. For example, a picture made entirely of different shades of blue, green, or orange is also a monochrome. The Three Components of Monochrome

Tones: The base color mixed with gray to dull its intensity. How Monochrome is Used Across Industries Monochrome – Tate
