No rhyme or reason, nobody knows what happened, just randomly you blink your eyes and suddenly color doesn't exist anymore, life's looking like a 1940's TV show.

How would you react if everything suddenly became black and white?

I would check RF to see whether it became black or white, of course.

I was in my youth!
Not a Maiden fan?
First I'd make sure it wasn't an eye problem, but then I would start having trouble with this event.
If everything became grayscale like a TV show I'd mark it as a magical event and strong evidence that my perception of reality was far from correct. I'd also question reality. This likely would trigger a psychotic episode which found me doing strange things to try to get a reaction from reality.
I imaging a large number of people would be doing the same, and I think a lot of people would do crazy things like take off our shoes and go shopping naked. For days and weeks police would be busy rounding up crazies.
The politicians would of course talk about having a plan to deal with the situation. They'd assure everyone that research was being done by physicists to see what could be causing the light spectrum to shift.
North Korea would blame the United States.

What changed? Iron Maiden is still around... waiting for you to buy their records, again. They're retirement villas don't pay for themselves, yanno.
I had a boyfriend who was colorblind.
Must be not that easy.
But totally black and white...omg...like cats?
I love colors. I am glad I can distinguish so many different shades of red, of green...etc

I have a relative who taught grade school Special Ed. and they had students who thought the world was black and white "in the olden days" due to old TV/film and photographs. (The Wizard of Oz made sense with the b/w to color.) On various occasions, a child asked them, "were you around when everything was black & white?". Not sure what they thought had happened to cause the world to go Technicolor.

I grew out of their music I guess. I got their first single, then the first three albums up to Number of the Beast. Saw them a couple of times. I preferred Paul Di'Anno's voice at the time I think. A lot of stuff I was into then has long since been purged! Still like some rock music.
(btw your video link is a no no for me)

I would worry about an eye condition related to the cones going out of commission. Then I would wonder if my acute vision was the same (it wouldn't be if it was a cone condition). Then I would be interested in the physics/chemistry of the change. If everyone was experiencing the same effect, then it would lead to many questions about whether, for example, red light was still the same wavelength, etc.

Would I not have achromatopsia in this case? Or is that solely a genetic thing? Can it be acquired? I might be confusing this with different disorder but there is a disorder that can cause black and white colourblindness through injury or illness.
