monochrome

   <graphics> 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}.
