MacOSX Grayscale Mode Toggle Applescript

ToggleGrayScaleMode

(*
ToggleGrayScaleMode for MacOSX 10.9 Mavericks
works as of 15 april 2014

This is an AppleScript UI script to toggle GrayScaleMode in System Preferences.
I am red-green colorblind and grayscale helps a lot...

Works for me. Hope it can be usefull for you.

Ok well, I made it through the complicated naming of Apple UI Objects.
Here is a simple script to toggle grayscale.... for all us colorblind folk out there.
Cheers.

In the interest of simplifying... How about this?
(sorry, don't know how to post applescript code properly)

tell application "System Preferences"
activate
reveal anchor "Seeing_Display" of pane "Accessibility"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
click checkbox "Use grayscale" of window 1
end tell
quit application "System Preferences"
end tell

Thanks for developing this! I had another script (similar to @janthenat's); however, it stopped working with El Capitan.
