Monochrome
A monochrome or monochromatic image, object or palette is composed of one color (or values of one color). Images using only shades of grey are called grayscale (typically digital) or black-and-white (typically analog). In physics, monochromatic light refers to electromagnetic radiation that contains a narrow band of wavelengths, which is a distinct concept. Application Of an image, the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black and white or, more likely, grayscale, but may also be used to refer to other combinations containing only tones of a single color, such as green-and-white or green-and-red. It may also refer to sepia displaying tones from light tan to dark brown or cyanotype ("blueprint") images, and early photographic methods such as daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes, each of which may be used to produce a monochromatic image.

It generally includes a toll-free telephone number or website. Most often used as a form of direct response television (DRTV), they are often ''programlength commercials'' (long-form infomercials), and are typically 28:30 or 58:30 minutes in length.

Some stations also choose to air infomercials during the daytime hours, mostly on weekends, to fill in for unscheduled network or ...
