Unlike color monitors, which display text and graphics in multiple colors through the use of alternating-intensity red, green, and blue phosphors, monochrome monitors have only one color of phosphor (mono means "one", and chrome means "color"). All text and graphics are displayed in that color.

Monochrome
A monitor that displays only one color (and black or lack of color as the contrasting color for the background) is known as a monochrome monitor.
I will explain how a monochrome (black-and-white) display works. A color display has the same basic mechanism, but with each pixel replaced by a triple of independent elements that produce varying amounts of red, green, and blue.
Monotone painting uses a single color in varying shades and tones to create depth and complexity in the artwork, while monochrome painting uses a single color without variation, typically presented in grayscale. Monotone painting can have a wider range of hues and tones, while monochrome painting focuses on the use of a single color.
One because it only has one gun........ (:
A screen/monitor that only shows one color except for black. Like a black and white TV or a green and black cell-phone screen.
No color.
A drawing done in only one color. a black and white drawing is considered monochrome, as the "color" would be black on a white tapestry.
Hey guys, asker here. I would like to elaborate on the question, since it's not possible to elaborate in the question itself. I used to own a 14'' grayscale Samtron monitor, and it doesn't match any of the phopshor descriptions you can read about on the net. It was not white, not green and not amber, instead it displayed letters in a color that could be considered a warm, variation of gray with a slight brown tinge to it, so i guess calling it "tan" would be a good way to call it. I noticed that this gray was rather rancid when I first saw how color monitors displayed gray - a gray that felt colder and more vivid color - almost bluish, even though it was still monochrome. I could run Windows 95 on this monitor and even set my graphical options to 16bit (I believe), but in addition to the tan hue of its gray, it behaved a lot differently to color monitors displaying grayscale. For example, blues, reds and purples were displayed almost as black. Is that a monitor thing or is that associated with a system color setting (such as say, 256 colors?) I haven't been able to replicate this kind of monochrome on my new monitor, even though it lets you display actual monochrome if you decrease color saturation to zero. Does the kind of monochrome display I described have a specific name? And is there any possibility to simulate it via software on a color monitor (nostalgia reasons)?
color monochrome- one color
Achromatic (without color), polychrome (has a lot of color) and monochrome (one color)
