Black & White Tokens?

Just wondering what folks think of black and white tokens? Would anyone be interested in them, or is it color-or-nothing when it comes to tokens? Thanks so much!
Speaking for myself, I'd say color only. If for some reason I wanted black-and-white, I'd desaturate colored tokens.  I can do that easily.  I can't draw easily.

There is definitely a time and place for black & white tokens. Great for supernatural games. Check out the work of Frida Bergholtz. She nails it. <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/search/?keywords=&sortby=newest&type=all&genre=all&author=Frida%20Bergholtz" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/search/?keywords=&sortby=newest&type=all&genre=all&author=Frida%20Bergholtz</a>
I like the idea of it for horror games, but the thought of trying to adjust everything into black and white sounds awful (maps, etc). It'd take a lot of my library too.

There are several Chrome extensions that allow you to view websites in grayscale. I haven't tested any of them, but this would be several levels of magnitude easier than altering graphics, and keep distracting instances of color from intruding (dice, interface, sfx). I know this started about exploring the need/want for grayscale tokens, but the conversation kind of drifted...

They might be nifty for some other applications too.
