iPhone 6, iOS 8.1
Go to Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> Display Accommodation (under Vision section) --> Color Filters (toggle the on and off button)
I tried all the above options posted but my iPhone 6 did not have 'grayscale' under the Accessibility/Vision area.
Hope this helps someone.
mee too. the screen colors turn black/white and were converted. the grayscale function disappears too. i try clicking the zoom button like you said and it works. i have also turned off the triple-home-click function
My phone has gone black and white
I have gone to settings
General accessibility
But there is no gray scale setting on my phone to turn back on
I am finding the phone very difficult to use
Should I buy another one?
Could you please give more information? What were you doing when this happened? Did you drop or otherwise damage the device?
No it wasn't dropped or damaged, I was simply trying to pull the control center from my home screen, since it wasn't working I rebooted the device, when it came back on and it got to my lock screen it was in black and white, control center works but have not been able to get it back in color, even after several reboots.
I would back up and restore the software. If that doesn't help try restoring as a new device. If it continues, your device is under warranty, so take it to the Genius Bar to have it evaluated (make an appointment first).
First try a reset of the iPhone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If that doesn't work try the back up and restore that AmishCake suggests. Still no luck? Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
I think you have accidentaly turned on the "Grayscale". Go to Settings, General, Accesibilty, and turn the "Grayscale" off.
I'm using an iPhone 5s running on iOS 8.1.3.
Just yesterday and for no apparent reason my screen went black/white. I tried all the suggestions in this thread-short of going to a Genius Bar or backup/restore- to no avail.
By fumbling around I lucked into a solution.
I triple tapped the home button and un-checked the "zoom" option and color returned.
For whatever reason- I'm assuming a bug- toggling the "zoom" option changes the screen from b/w to color (Zoom on=b/w; Zoom off=color).
Interestingly, turning on/off the Zoom in settings>general>accessibility>Zoom (under the "vision" heading) does the same thing.
COlin~ thx for posting the solution to the black and white problem!!!
My phone turned to b&w out of nowhere too!! U save me from so much trouble!! Yayy!!
i Wouldn't be able to hv guessed that!!! 🙂
Colin's Post did it for me too. Awesome stroke of luck! Saved me hours of headaches. Thank you!

Colin is a genius. Thanks for this tip. It worked and turned the screen to color again. Does this mean I no longer have the zoom option unless I want a black and white screen?
Also, try triple-tapping screen & selecting "none" from the "choose filter" option in the menu. It took me hours to figure out that I'd inadvertently turned the "grayscale" filter on while the screen was unlocked & in my pocket.
Just wanted you and others to know, Verticity's solution worked for me! Thanks for your input.
I think so. No more triple tapping to zoom after i used the fix to get my color screen back.
