The New Color: The Return of Black-and-White

[Keith Fleming]

Mike,

Shouldn't those bands of tones be our 10 beloved ZONES?

An achromatist logo should only have two colours. An apochromatist movement would need three. Ten makes me think of a Super-dee-dooper-dee-booper, special deluxe a la Peter T Hooper chromatist.

Personally I'd steal shamelessly from the existing art lexicon and call myself a Grisailleur. It sounds French and arty, has connotations of silver temples and established authority, and has a history that links it back to other craft-based pictorial media such as stained glass and enamels.

Well the prism dispersion was, er, transformed from an existing image and I don't want to hand paint another 2 bands in there. So neo-achromatists will make do with 9 zones.
