Camayeu

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 2: Beaugency to Cataract, p. 662

Camayeu is a term by which painting in one colour, or monochrome, is designated. Pictures of several tints, but where the natural colours of the objects are not copied, are also said to be en camayeu. As one colour generally prevails, we speak of blue, red, yellow, green camayeu.
