monochrome

An image drawn in predominantly one or two colors. This could be greyscale, or it could be another color such as red, blue, green, etc.

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 color and pale color.

Comics and doujinshi are often monochrome.
