monochrome
An image drawn in predominantly one color. It doesn't have to be just black and white; it could be another color such as sepia, red, blue, green, etc.
If the image uses more than just black and white and uses more shades of grey, also tag with greyscale. For non-greyscale monochrome pictures, add the appropriate color tag, such as red theme, blue theme, green theme etc.
Monochrome and partially colored are mutually exclusive. For monochrome pictures with just a bit of color, use monochrome and spot color together. If the image has a range of colors but appears grayed out or washed out, see muted colors and pale colors.
If an image consists of multiple monochromatic parts with each part in a different color, use multiple monochrome instead of monochrome.
Comics and doujinshi are often monochrome.
