On Android, under Accessibility, you can set color mappings for various types of color-blindness, but (at least on 7.0) you have to enable Developer Options to get access to the "simulate color space" option, which provides monochromancy.

Its possible that its better to leave the option more inaccessible to further incentivize yourself from reverting back to color mode. Maybe those few extra steps of converting back to color will stop you from doing so

Agreed. But, in my case I couldn't use grayscale without this. I need colour many times a day for work.
So, this is actually what made greyscale possibly at all. I do agree you have to watch for leaving it off though.
If you find yourself switching it off you can set a daily reminder until the habit sticks.
Settings --> general --> accessiblity --> scroll to accessibility shortcut at bototm --> choose colour filters
Enabling greyscale itself is in the display accomodations --> colour filters section of accessibility
Once enable, just triple tap home to turn greyscale on/off
At least some android systems have a similar setting.
I am not sure if this is actually affecting my usage, but I only figured this out a couple days ago. My compulsive usage is mostly text, which grayscale has little impact on.
