What is Monochrome design?

Monochrome as a design style: The design uses a single hue (or pure black and white) throughout, relying on tint, shade and value contrast for hierarchy rather than color variety.

Monochrome as a color treatment: Only one hue is used, differentiated by lightness and saturation, or the design is in pure black, white and gray.
