bestiary commented on the word camaïeu
camaïeu (or en camaïeu) is a technique that, without regard to local or realistic color, employs two or three tints of a single color to create a monochromatic image. (when a picture is monochromatically rendered in grey, however, it's called grisaille; when in yellow, cirage.)
