Homonym: black-and-white (Monochrome)
"Black-and-white" refers to a color scheme that includes only the colors black and white, without any shades of gray or other colors. This stark contrast can create a strong visual impact, often used in photography, art, and design to emphasize shapes, patterns, and textures.
In photography, black-and-white images can evoke a sense of nostalgia or timelessness, highlighting emotions and details that might be overlooked in color. Many classic films, such as Casablanca and Citizen Kane, were produced in black-and-white, showcasing the artistic possibilities of this style.
