WHAT DOES MONOCHROMATISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Monochromacy

Monochromacy is, among animals, the condition of possessing only one cone cell for color vision, which results in a monochromatic-like vision. Organisms with monochromacy are called monochromats. The perceptual effect of any arbitrarily chosen light from the visible spectrum can be matched by any pure spectral light. Many species, such as all marine mammals, the owl monkey and the Australian sea lion are monochromats under normal conditions while other mammal species including humans having such vision are considered porters of full color blindness disease.
