I wasn't able to find any way to do it under Windows, short of 
using a monochrome monitor. If you have a Mac, there's an option
built into the system preferences:

Let me know where this takes you...

Hey, you are so great, i bought an  imac and it works great in
grayscale.  do you think windows will have this function in their next
generation operating system?  How can i reward you?  You did a great
job thank you very very much.

Researchers are paid when they post an answer in the official
answer area, which is only available to them. Often, if we're
unsure if the response we provide will satisfy the question,
we post a Request for Clarification first.

Thank you for confirming my post as a deserving answer. I'll
repost it here for the sake of future readers.

As for Windows, I've never heard of this having been a feature
of past releases, nor have I heard of any intent to include it
in future releases. Too bad, really, because it is a good way
to reduce eyestrain and provide some variety for someone who
uses a computer all day.

That's actually what drew me to the question, and piqued my
interest in researching it. I'm looking at my monitor for 
most of the day, and have an Nvidia graphics card with ATI
tray tools, and I thought it might be quite a pleasant way
to alter the experience for the better. Unfortunately, I
have Windows, and it seems to require a video driver which
neither Microsoft or the graphics card makers have opted
to pursue for Windows.

Enjoy your Mac!

Hello Sublime1
thank you again and I just wonder whether you get paid or not because
I checked my bank statement and couldn't find the charge of google
answer.

Hi jowei...

Yes, I got paid - thanks! It may be that you'll see two separate
charges - one for the question and one for the tip. And I notice
that the tip didn't get tallied in October, as the question was.
It wasn't invoiced until November 1. Perhaps the total was updated
at that time, and you'll see it all on your November statement.

Best regards...
