The simplest way to go from grayscale  to full color mode is to hit CTRL + Windows Key + C, which should work right away. If you hit the same key combination again, you’ll go back to grayscale. Windows 10 has a grayscale mode, because some visually impaired or color blind users have an easier time working with a different color scheme. In addition to grayscale, you can also choose among five other different filters, including “Inverted,” “Grayscale Inverted” and “Protanopia,” a filter for red-green color blindness.  To choose a color filter:

  1. Type “color filter” into the Windows search box.
  2. Click “Turn color filters on or off.”
  3. Toggle “Turn on color filters” to On.
  4. Pick a filter. You can always toggle the filter on and off, using Windows Key + CTRL + C.
