Monochromatic

From the Greek: "mono" meaning "one" and "chroma" meaning "color," monochromatic in reference to photography is the use of one color in a photo. Bam, breakdown. Also, its first use was approximately 1822 in case you were yearning for that tidbit of information. Monochromatic images are relatively easy to create in Photoshop thanks to the ability to isolate colors through fancy keyboard and mouse maneuvers. I chose to do all the colors of the rainbow because they're pretty and you get the idea of how it would look with each color. I could cheat and change the hues of one picture to the color desired, but that would be too simple. Plus, I'm sure you'd get bored of seeing the same object in different colors. One post of the same photo repeated is probably enough. We need some variety in our lives! Oh, and I added a teal color. You could pretend that is "blue" and the dark blue is "indigo" if it makes you happy. It is ROYGBIV after all.
