"monochrome" foldoc "The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)"
monochrome
Literally "one colour". Usually used for a black
and white (or sometimes green or orange) monitor as distinct
from a color monitor. Normally, each pixel on the display
will correspond to a single bit of display memory and will
therefore be one of two intensities. A grey-scale display
requires several bits per pixel but might still be called
monochrome.
Compare: bitonal.
