Grayscale or black and white

In grayscale, every color turns into a gray of the same brightness: a red heading stays darker than a yellow fill. Black-and-white mode keeps only black and white; it suits text pages and scans that get printed without halftones. The threshold sets the cutoff: everything lighter than the threshold becomes white.
