-In [[art]], [[photography]], and [[film]], '''black and white''' refers to works that are not "in [[color]]". This includes:
-* works that use only the two colors black and white (e.g. an inked [[drawing]] or a [[woodcut]])
-* works in [[greyscale]] (e.g. a [[pencil]] drawing or a photograph)
-Black-and-white art is the base of [[monochrome]] art. In monochrome, only a single color (plus any shade of that color mixed with black or white) is used. Old black-and-white photographs often were, or have become, monochrome as they were originally in monochrome [[sepia]] color instead of a pure grayscale, or have turned brownish with [[age]]. This effect, which adds to the "[[vintage]]" feeling of a work, can also be easily achieved with digital [[image]]s on a [[computer]].
-Black-and-white art can be [[colorization|colorized]] afterwards. This is often done for [[cartoon]]s and [[comic]]s (in the simplest case, only some of the white areas in the picture are filled with a solid color), but can also be done for black-and-white photos and even films.
