halftones
Grayscale gradient technique
Halftones are the intermediate shades between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.
In printing and photography, halftone refers to a technique that reproduces continuous-tone images using patterns of dots—larger dots create darker areas, smaller dots create lighter ones.
Look closely at a newspaper photograph and you'll see the halftone dots.
The term also applies to musical intervals of a half step.
