CLARO-OBSCURO, or Chiaro-Scuro, is also used to signify a design consisting of only two colours, most usually black and white, but sometimes black and yellow; or it is a design washed only with one colour, the shadows being of a dusky brown, and the lights heightened up by white. The word is also applied to prints of two colours taken off at twice.
