If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think much about your computer’s color palette. But if you want to make your Mac look a little more modern and sleek, you should consider changing the color scheme to grayscale. There are a few ways to do this. The easiest way is to open System Preferences and click on the “Appearance” tab. There, you’ll find a section called “Color Scheme.” Click on the “Grayscale” option and select the colors that you want to use in grayscale form. If you don’t want to go through all of that trouble, there are also a few third-party apps that let you change your Mac’s color scheme to grayscale without having to open System Preferences. One such app is GrayScale, which is available for free from the App Store. ..


If you have poor or impaired vision, the grayscale feature can be particularly helpful. In this mode, you won’t be distracted by the colorful images on the Retina display, and therefore, have a more focused workspace.

Plus, if you pair grayscale with macOS Mojave’s dark mode, it’s even better!

You can switch to grayscale mode in System Preferences. Click the Apple button in the menu bar, and then select “System Preferences.”

Here, click “Accessibility.”

Next, click “Display” in the sidebar.

If your computer is running macOS Catalina or newer, click the “Color Filters” tab.

Next, select the “Grayscale” option from the “Filter Type:” drop-down menu, and then click the checkbox next to “Enable Color Filters” to enable it.

Your Mac display now switches to a black-and-white view.

If your machine runs macOS Mojave or earlier, the steps are slightly different. From the Display menu in Accessibility, click the checkbox next to the “Use Greyscale” option to enable it.
