Saw a poster in a coffee shop that used a single color in a way I never thought of

I was at a place called The Daily Grind yesterday and they had a new poster for a local band. The whole thing was just different shades of green, no other colors at all. It made the band name pop out way more than I expected. I always thought you needed contrast from different colors, but this showed me how much you can do with just one. Has anyone else seen a design that changed their mind about a basic rule like that?

Monochrome designs can be cool for sure, but calling it a mind-blowing rule change seems a bit much. It's just a color choice, not some huge design revolution. People have been using single color schemes forever in stuff like movie posters or old ads. It worked for that band poster, but it's not gonna work for everything.

Rowanwells is right, it's just a color trick.
