What is the difference between monochrome (monochrome) and black_and_white (black_and_white)?

Black and white is the specific dichotomy of black and white. Monochrome is every kind of simple monochromatic color scheme.

Try searching for 'monochrome -black_and_white' to see page after page of mistagged images examples.

I don't think the tagging is entirely consistent. Some images have merely a single hue and so may have black, blue, grey, or, white. I'm not sure what tag these get but they deserve a tag by themselves.

Like blue_and_white, green_and_white, etc.?
Those are still technically monochrome. Monochrome, in the most literal interpretation, means simply "one colour".

I think he's talking about something that is black-and-X-and-white (and the shades in between), which is a technique that can produce striking results.

Ahhh, fancy.
I suppose a tag would be in order for those sorts of images, wouldn't it?
