it occurs to me that it would be possible to make images specifically designed to look like something entirely different when shown in grayscale than when shown in color

because you lose information in the conversion. it'd be easy to make a multi-colored image that comes out as solid gray, and a bit more difficult to have an image that has minor changes to it when grayscale-ized
