Typically, watercolours, oils, crayons or pastels, and other paints or dyes are applied to the image surface using brushes, fingers, cotton swabs or airbrushes. Hand-coloured photographs were most popular in the mid- to late-19th century before the invention of colour photography and some firms specialised in producing hand-coloured photographs.
In computing terminology, black-and-white is sometimes used to refer to a binary image consisting solely of pure black pixels and pure white ones; what would normally be called a black-and-white image, that is, an image containing shades of gray, is referred to in this context as grayscale. [2]
The other, producing what is generally referred to as a “crayon enlargement”, [2] [3] was to use a magic lantern to project the photograph onto the rear of drawing paper or a canvas. [4] Both of these provided a photographic image which could then be used as the base from which to colour in the features using crayons, oils or watercolours. [5]
Although digital images captured in color can be modified with a digital black and white process, some specialized cameras photograph natively in black and white with no option for color. [10] Black and white digital cameras are often designed without a Bayer filter, avoiding the demosaicing process and meaning that a camera will only capture ...

it may mean having only one color which is either on or off (also known as a binary image), allowing shades of that color. A monochrome computer display is able to display only a single color, often green, amber, red or white, and often also shades of that color. In film photography, monochrome is typically the use of black-and-white film.
Grayscale images are distinct from one-bit bi-tonal black-and-white images, which, in the context of computer imaging, are images with only two colors: black and white (also called bilevel or binary images). Grayscale images have many shades of gray in between.
Binary images are also called bi-level or two-level. Pixel art made up of two colours is often referred to as 1-bit in reference to the single bit required to store each pixel. [2] The names black-and-white, B&W, monochrome or monochromatic are often used, but can also designate other image types with only one sample per pixel, such as ...
