Strip Away the Color

Bright, colorful websites can be overwhelming. The colors compete for your attention, making it harder to focus on what you're actually reading.

Grayscale mode removes all the color. You see the page in shades of gray, which can make text easier to read and reduce visual fatigue.

Why Remove Color?

Reduce distraction: Without color pulling your eyes in different directions, it's easier to focus on the content.

Ease eye strain: Bright colors and high contrast can tire your eyes. Grayscale is gentler.

Help with light sensitivity: If bright screens give you headaches, removing color can make browsing more comfortable.

Reduce blue light: Grayscale naturally cuts down on blue light emission from your screen.
