the post "How My Images Are Dithered"(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49006096) made me think about my own website and I was also considering dithering or half-toning all images. But then I noticed that colored images somehow made the text take a back seat. That makes sense for some posts, but not for all of them. Still, individual posts looked a bit inconsistent. After experimenting a bit, I realized that I like the whole website much better when all the images (and the text, too) are in grayscale. The images look more like the photographs you’d find in older technical books rather than vacation photos. While I have converted all images themselves, I also have added a CSS filter in case I forget to convert a new image in the future. What do you think?
