Quote: Just to put the cat among the pigeons, what is a B&W image when it is printed on a sheet of coloured paper?

Ruined. But remember when some paper manufacturers (Kenmere springs to mind) produced photographic paper in a vaiety of colours and surfaces, including coloured metallic.

A colour picker shows black and white as the extremes of any colour, for what it's worth. This chimes with the definitions above. Shades of any one colour, grey, blue, whatever. Ade's pic does not look mono to me, not cos of the blacks if any, but cos of the fact that to me too, some areas look pinker than others. But that could me be reading in what I know about skies

Whatever colour your monochrome is in, it can obviously have black (which, as stated as nauseum above, is not a colour). In any colour of monochrome, the darkest tone will always be black.

Quote: In my eyes this photo, borrowed from Ade McFade for illustration, can be classified as a monotone, but definately not B+W.
