Zach, I know you're trying to make a point, but I'd actually agree with that assessment too, if for slightly different reasons. The user has no way of knowing what shade of gray they are about to place on the image. I don't think this is used anywhere near as commonly as layers/transparency, so isn't perceived as such a big problem. But it should get some attention as well. In this case, changing the toolbar when that image is active is a possibility, if grayscale editing is still a goal. Also, the color selectors would have to change depending on the mode, so you're introducing the same problem in a different spot. I think what it comes down to is that modes increase the load on the user of the tool. If they have to exist, there should always be a clear indicator of the current mode. Where possible, I'd like to see them go away.
