(ignore my previous accidental post)
Color was really introduced with OS3.5, as was the good support
of grayscale, although it was possible to do grayscale with earlier
releases with some interesting coding.
Unles you have good reason to want to support grayscale on
devices prior to OS3.5, then I recommend you use bitmap
families and have a monochrome bit image for older releases
as well as grayscale and color images for OS3.5 and forward
releases.
This also plays into what OS releases you are interested in supporting.
