Gray / Grey Scale images

It is now easier than ever to make an image greyscale in CSS.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<filter id="grayscale">
<feColorMatrix type="matrix" values="0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0 0 0 1 0"/>
</filter>
</svg>

Then use this to make a greyscale:

img {

filter: url(filters.svg#grayscale); /* Firefox 3.5+ */

filter: gray; /* IE6-9 */

-webkit-filter: grayscale(1); /* Google Chrome & Safari 6+ */

}

and then ungreyscale

img:hover {

filter: none;

-webkit-filter: grayscale(0);

}

Of course, i got this from stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/609273/convert-an-image-to-grayscale-in-html-css
