 * Definition :** "This type of color harmony is made by using different tones of one color or as it is sometimes called a selftone harmony. Different shades and tints of a color are called values... Another way of describing the monochromatic color harmony is to say it is made up of different values of one color. Black, white, or gray are sometimes added as a part of this color harmony."
