I love this idea, but sadly it's not for me. I tried this on my phone (going grayscale) and turned it off after 1/2 a day. Too many apps rely on color to differentiate different parts of the app.

It definitely gave me a greater appreciation for the plight of the colorblind, and it's why for my own company's products, we always test in B&W, to make sure no functionality is lost.

Relatedly, does anyone have any links to some good research on why this works?

Edit: OP has pointed out that this tool lets you choose sites to have in color or grayscale, so that's a bit of a game changer, as on the phone it was all or nothing.
