• The simplest way to force a monochrome terminal scheme (useful for e-ink displays) is to set the TERM environment variable to vt220 or another legacy terminal that doesn't support colour
• While some programs will still ignore this, e.g. git, it works in most cases
• Colour output in git can be suppressed in your global .gitconfig
