Black and white computer are capable of black and white for text or background so black text on white background or white text on black the other combinations are not very useful black on black and white on white. My suggestion is make the computer more gray scale by adding gray and lightGray colors options. I think this would allow programs that are more
TUI (similar to
GUI) to be cross computer compatible working on both color computer and black and white.
Having more color combinations would allow easer definition of selected button or option and allow definition of separate sections example windows like interfaces.Programs like my mouse file browser could be adapted easily to a gray scale system and use tab / keyboard short cuts to navigate.

I think that grayscale support should be natural, havng white on white or black on black should write in gray, so no more problem and no big change in the apis and programs

We have two degrees of gray besides black and white. Let BW comps and turtles use it. I think change in CC code would be minimal.

I like it the way it is, actually. It makes more sense as just black and white, since early computer monitors could only light up or leave dark any given pixel on the screen. I think it's a good design decision to leave them fairly limited. Gold isn't all that rare anyhow.

I'm sort of indifferent; as nice as it sounds, it just doesn't fit with CC's style in my opinion. I wouldn't object to this being implemented, though.

Unlike color monitors, which display text and graphics in multiple colors through the use of alternating-intensity red, green, and blue phosphors, monochrome monitors have only one color of phosphor (mono means "one", and chrome means "color"). All text and graphics are displayed in that color. Some monitors have the ability to vary the brightness of individual pixels, thereby creating the illusion of depth and color, exactly like a black-and-white television.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochrome_monitorYes early computers were only black and white with no scale but then gray scale systems were invented. The way it is currently is perfectly fine and yes gold is not that rare especially considering that a turtle can mine for you.
To clarify I am not saying a full set of 16 gray colors comparable with the 16 colors. I am just asking for the inclusion if the gray and lightGray colors making a total of 4 colors.
This is something that would be nice to have but ether way is fine just wanted to see people opinions.

It would be nice but I don't know if it would feel right. But advanced computers need more colours

You already have 16 colors. That's as many as are in Minecraft. Why would you need to add more?

Almost positive that there are more than 16 colors in Minecraft. Just sayin'.

16 dyes, 16 types of wool, 16 colors. Other colors are not "pure" colors.
It still remains though, what would you need with more colors? 16 is plenty for making any good looking GUI. We don't need to make a huge color swath tailored just for the computers.
Now that I think of it, almost all mods that I can think of only use 16 colors too.

Ah, now I get what your saying. Me, I'm not full-on for the extra colors, but then I just use CC for the wee robots.

Polls are useless. I don't even look at them. As for greyscale computers - I'm in two minds. There were computers with only two colour support.
