Some other reasons against greyscales:
  * Greyscale could "damage" your eys, when you work a lot with it, due 
    to the slow rate (25 Hz)
  * Greyscale does not have enough contrast for to be used for text
    Neigher light-grey on black, nor dark-grey on white, nor 
    light-grey on dark-grey would be well readable


The only reason for geyscale could be the possiblity of embedding
greyscale pictures...
