From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [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}. (1994-11-24)
