| part of speech: |
adjective |
| definition 1: |
of a movie or photograph, using the colors black, white, and gray only.
Movies from the early 1900s were all black-and-white. Movies that used color didn't start to appear until the 1940s.My grandmother's old photo albums have a lot of black-and-white pictures from a long time ago. |
| definition 2: |
involving only things that are complete opposites. If something is black-and-white, it is clearly one thing or the opposite thing. It is not mixed or somewhere in the middle.
For me, this is a black-and-white issue. You either agree with me or you don't. |
