  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [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}.
