Uses two colors exclusively with no shades in-between.

Notable people involved: William V. R. Smith, John Calhoun, Cary Torkelson, Ron Martinez and Jim Zuber

Name variations: binary colour

Anti-aliasing introducing some shades should not be used as a reason to omit games from this if it is the only source of it (and not overdone).

Should not really be used on systems that are incapable of anything but this.

Stippling is fairly common method of creating illusion of shades with this.
