monochrome, grayscale,black and white, lineart

uh wut

Fine, I’ll humor you.
 
Monochrome is for pics that are primarily one color.
 
Grayscale is for pics that are primarily in shades of gray. (nobody uses this tag)
 
Grayscale -> monochrome, but monochrome does not necessarily mean grayscale. i.e. >>402182
 
Black-and-white is the same as grayscale. I assume black and white is also used for something else, too. Like a tv show or video game or something. But we’re never that consistent with tagging.
 
Lineart is for line art? I’m not an artist or willing to pretend I know dick about art, so I don’t know how this differs from sketches and such.

i like to think black and white is literally just black and white,  
 
rather than with the grays, seeing as monochrome covers that.  
 
i’m not an artist either, but imma guessing cleaned up sketches a step away from being colored would be lineart  
 
though some seem to stylistically suit to not have color  
 
on a related note i guess, there’s ‘partial color’,‘rgb distortion’ and ‘silhouette’  
 
i think i’ve forgotten one…oh well, i’ll come back if i remember

Grayscale and black-and-white are literally the same thing. Black is just the strongest intensity of gray, while white is the weakest (or is it the other way? whatever). I haven’t axed black and white as a tag yet because I assume it’s used for different contexts.

not the one i was forgetting but i need to keep a tab on these things

@dt  
as posted, i use it when there’s no gray. literally black and white.  
but i guess there’s the whole black and white tv kind of black and white.
