chromo
Tinted lithograph picture
Chromo is a combining form meaning color, from Greek.
It appears in scientific and technical terms: chromosome (color-body, from how they absorb dye), chromatography (color-writing), monochrome (one color), polychrome (many colors).
As a standalone noun, chromo is an old-fashioned shortening of chromolithograph—a colored print made by lithography, once popular for cheap reproductions.
