   Hi Arno and others on the Android ng team,   
      
   I ignored this thread until it got so long that I wondered what it was   
   about. Interestingly to me anyway, is that on my Samsung Galaxy A32-5G on   
   Android 13, my "Grayscale" is on. But I've never seen it. Hmmm....   
      
   Dunno but it seems to be tied to sleep mode but I'm not sure.   
   I found "Grayscale" in Settings > Modes and Routines > Sleep'   
      
   I guess it never went on because at the "Sleep" activity, there's a big fat   
   blue button saying "Turn on", so I suspect my sleep mode stuff is off.   
      
   Apparently I can delete the entire "Sleep" menu, which I just did.   
   What's there is Theater, Driving, Exercise, Relax & Work.   
      
   None of which I even knew existed.   
   So it's nice to know, but I don't think I need them.   
      
   Apparently there are not only "Modes" but "Routines" too, where tapping   
   about I see a warning, which, well, you know what that means to me.   
    "To automatically start modes and routines based on your activity,   
    you need to sign in to your Samsung account".   
      
   Apparently you can delete any mode except the default ´DrivingĄ one on some   
   models (according to a search).   
      
   It seems you don't need the Samsung account unless you want them to be   
   automatic, but I'm not sure about that either.   
      
   If I wanted automation, I'd probably use the Automation app to do it.   
       
      
   Still, it's nice to know it's there if I ever go color blind. :)   
   --   
   I never disagree with anyone who poses a logically sensible viewpoint.
