single color

Uniform shade throughout

Single color describes something consisting of or using only one hue throughout: a single color background, printed in single color.

The term appears in design, printing, and manufacturing contexts where monochromatic treatment contrasts with multicolor options.

A single color scheme simplifies production and can create visual unity or stark effect.
