iPhone 5S screen is black & white (no color)

My 20 month old son picked up my father's brand new (2 weeks old) iphone 5S, and 5 minutes later we see he has somehow turned the screen completely black and white. No color remains. It is not the grayscale or the invert color options. He had just upgraded to iOS 8.1.1. Any ideas for how this happened? And how to get the color back?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.1
