Duh, it is a marketing thing. Color TV was the new whiz bang replacing B &
W TV. Just like digital TV is the latest whiz bang which will replace the
NTSC color system. Just like stereo took over from mono. It's a marketing
thing.
Oh yes there are more colors than shades of grey so if one needs to display
more items then color is the logical choice. That's why all the new
airplanes have "glass" cockpits. Lots of colors.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion's lack of color
> In regard to the Orion not having a color display, I have heard good
arguments for a color display by someone "playing up the IC-756 Pro II over
the Orion". He said It has been scientifically proven that people interact
better with their technology thru color displays. That is why the U.S.
Military has color in their heads up combat displays. Also, if Black and
White were so great, Why aren't computers in black and white, or black and
white TV's still popular. I am not bashing the Orion, just merely passing
along some valid points I've heard on the air. 73. Todd
