From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  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}.
