monochromatic colors

Refers to a single hue in a color palette that is expanded upon by adding two, three, or more tints (variations in lightness and saturation) of that color, to create a more balanced look. In desktop publishing using monochromatic colors is a technique used to vary color in the print document without paying to add additional colors.
