In OS X, this is controlled via System Preferences -> Universal Access ->
Seeing. In the Display section, there is a checkbox for "use grayscale"
which will eliminate all colors. You can also control contract and invert
colors.

In Windows, this is controlled via Control Panel -> Accessibility Options
-> Display. There is a checkbox for "Use High Contrast" there are also
settings to control how high contrast mode works.
