I don't know about power consumption, but it certainly slows down
drawing. And I have found that trying to double-buffer a full screen on
a Palm V in 16 grays will leave you with very little room left in your
dynamic space for doing anything else.
We also get some complaints from Palm IIIxe owners that the colors look
washed out. They simply need to adjust their contrast knob to fix that
problem, but definitely the Palm IIIxe contrast goes a little nutty
when you switch to 16 grays.
