Add black & white option to Color Vision Simulator

[AaronKoelker]

Hello there. The built in Color Vision Simulator introduced in ArcGIS Pro 3.0 is a wonderful feature. We'd love to see it expanded with an additional black and white option. This would have multiple benefits for map designers, including accessibility checks for achromatopsia, general contrast checking on colors, and previewing what a color map would look like if it happened to be photocopied by somebody (for example: in emergency management, field teams sometimes want to take paper maps into areas with no power or service), which would encourage or inspire the use of symbology that is not entirely color dependent. Thanks!

I work for the USDA Forest Service. This is a wonderful idea!!!!

As someone who frequently works with interlocking symbologies that rely on both shape and color simultaneously, I worry about this sort of thing all the time.  I'd love to be able to easily check this on the fly like I can with the colorblindness options.

I think this is a great idea!  I can see a variety of use cases for it.

Building off of this excellent idea, I'd love to have a Black and White simulator baked into the Colorblind Simulators.

Frequently we have to develop maps in greyscale, and it'd be great to be able to simulate it rather than building two separate maps or sets of layers to have one in color and one in greyscale.

It is a must have feature for not just "symbology" but should be applied to all ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise solutions such as Field Maps and Survey123 for built-in accessibilities features. Good post!
