Technically, shades don't count. I.E. "black and white" (plus any number of shades of gray in between) is monochrome, because they are all the same hue and saturation.

Hex. is right, there are three colors in this image: red, white and black. Shading is irrelevant. I still think it's OK to tag it as monochromatic though.
Funny how one person can make a statement followed by two people both agreeing with them in an argumentative tone.
Shading is relevant to the overall decision of whether something is monochromatic even though this image doesn't contain any; different shades of a color still count as one color for that purpose.
Greyscale images are considered "monochrome" for convenience, but at the same time this image contains only one true color, so it falls in the same category.
