Always glad to try an experiment I might learn something from...
Here's the color original:

and here it is in greyscale:

My initial instinct is to prefer the color one; but... well, while I
like the eye candy of the colored fluorescents and the touches of
color everywhere else, the forms are intriguingly left more to stand
on their own with the color dropped out.  H'mm.  Thanks for suggesting 
this experiment.  I'll have to keep looking.
