A feature of the Universal Access control panel. I did get color until I pushed the switch to grayscale button.

Figured it out. Just change your monitor settings to be more than 256 colors.

For future reference, here are some keyboard commands you can use when experiencing problems:
Command-Option-Escape will bring up the Force Quit window so you can quit any frozen applications.
Command-control-power will force the computer to restart.
Note that any unsaved documents and such will be lost.
