If I had to describe it, I'd say 'Achromatic colours with a contrast colour'. Probably not what you're looking for, but maybe it helps to find what you're looking for.

Your question, seeing as it relates specifically to digital art, may be better asked on [Graphicdesign.se]. I have posted a general answer as it relates to color theory and I focus on items that could be handmade like pottery and paintings... but there may be an industry term that we are unfamiliar with.

I've heard somewhere that an orange, gray and white "style" has a specific name. I believe that it has "minimalism" in it, but I cannot recall.

[**Here is an example of the color scheme**](https://www.google.lv/search?q=gray%20orange%20white%20design&biw=1536&bih=764&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiprrSOhrvNAhXFVSwKHUY2CJYQ_AUICCgB), but in my case it's more about user interfaces design in software, corporate logo style, corporate branding and so on.

Based on the images you've shown, where the main colors are the shades of grey, I'd call it grayscale with a single accent color, in this specific case, the accent color is orange.

You could also call it black and white with a single accent color but that might lead people to believe that *only* black and white were used rather than shades of gray.

Something similar can be seen in these ceramic items:

[![White and grey teapot with orange accents](https://i.sstatic.net/JoKbUm.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/JoKbUm.jpg)[![Black and white pot with orange](https://i.sstatic.net/JcdLHm.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/JcdLHm.jpg)

If you were talking more about something like this tea kettle:

[![Orange kettle with grey accents](https://i.sstatic.net/ZmaPMm.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/ZmaPMm.jpg)

It would be the opposite - orange with grayscale accents.

If you're using multiple shades of the same orange (same color, different amounts of white/black), it would be "[monochromatic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochromatic_color)", like the image below, which is an underpainting of a [finished painting](http://www.artistsnetwork.com/articles/art-demos-techniques/indirect-painting-route-by-michael-chesley-johnson):
