Randy,
You have a valid point. Please enter a PR for this in bugzilla and let us
know so those who want to add comments can do so on the PR.
Thanks

Please respond to

ActionContributionItem is converting Toolbar Icons to B&W by default. I
think this makes it hard to distinguish between some Icons where color is
important. For example, I might have a Drop-down color toolbar item that
displays the last color that was selected as its Image. Converting this to
B&W defeats that.
Also, I think that B&W is not the Platform look and feel. Sure, Internet
Explorer 5.0 did this, but version 6.0 has returned to color. I don't
think Office ever made the leap to B&W.
P.S. ActionContributionItem$ImageCache never releases its B&W Images, thus
leaking resources. In the above color example, the action would constantly
change its ImageDescriptor, causing a new B&W version of the current color
to get created over and over. Even for static Actions, the color Images
are freed once the ToolbarItem is disposed, but the black&white Images
remain in the cache.
