5. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
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.
