| Would doing a photo with black and white as the colors would be a DNMC? |

| In the description they state black and white are not colors. So I took that to mean you needed colors aside from those. |

| Yes, I think even very open-minded voters would vote a B/W photo DNMC in this challenge. |

Just wondering if a pic composed of, say, blue and red, is allowed to have a range of blues and reds, or if they need to be pretty well uniform (apart from natural shading).

| well I was going to do a picture of my orange blossoms in the backyard (they smell amazing)...but I decided against it as the orange blossoms are mostly white with a touch of green...so because white isn't a "color" I nix it |

No, dpc doesn't consider b&w objects to have color. I got hit really hard when we did a complementary colors challenge and I used a zebra. Of course the picture wasn't very good either, but... |

This is a good question. I won't discriminate against light green, medium green and dark green, for example. That would be one color. Then, another color could be light purple, medium purple and dark purple, for example. That would be a second color. |

Thank you. That might open it up a bit.

The challenge description clearly states that black and white are NOT to be considered colors, and that two actual colors must be present in the photo in addition to black and white should you choose to include them. |

I guess I meant to ask do you think I would have gotten dinged for having a white flower? |

I think it is fine to have white and black elements, but you would still need 2 colors in the composition.
A white flower with green leaves and an orange ladybug would be acceptable in my mind.

| What about #000000, #ffffff, #101010 and #e0e0e0? |
