Have been in using greyscale on and off to reduce my screen time. Due the issues that the author reported I switched back and changed the icon colors to monocolor grey with black wallpaper to atleast keep the phone default UI color free.

Love the shortcuts tip. Setting it up to see if I can sustain greyscale full time now.
