A monochrome or monochromatic painting is one created using only one color or hue. A related term, grisaille, is a type of monochrome painting done completely in grays, coming from the French (and Latin and Spanish) term for gray.
As a tool, monochrome painting can be used to dramatic effect to convey simplicity, peacefulness, starkness, purity, or other meaning. It can use different shades of one color but by definition should contain only one base color. Done as an exercise, painting in monochrome can educate an artist on working with shades and gradients, composition and line.
