Detecting if a display is colour or mono is an inherently dubious idea. Better to test what covers look like in mono, or even 16 shade mono. Easy in any image editing program.

You can use a "best" colour image for covers on the websites listing books. Often anyway a good mono image is automatic with a good colour image, if the mono is poor it suggests the shadows, highlights and general contrast is poor in the colour version.
This isn't about covers. @GeoffR said "books with colour images". And it is about experimenting. Until you know what can be done, and what it looks like, you can't be sure of what is the best thing to do.
