monochrome
1662, "painting or drawing done in different tints of a single color," from Gk. monochromos "of a single color," from monos "single, alone" + khroma (gen. khromatos) "color, complexion, skin." Photographic sense is recorded from 1940.

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.
