First there was a ban threat, now it seems DICE has listened the fans and will include an option to turn the colour grading off in the next patch.

Not long ago we told you how DICE were threatening permanent bans for anyone using a colour editing mod; well now it seems DICE have listened to their fans and will be adding a console command in the next PC patch that disables the colour grading.
Mikael Kalms, senior programmer at DICE said this on the Mordor HQ Forums.
There will be a console command for disabling the color grading entirely in the game included with the next PC game client update.
We believe that turning it off gives no major competitive advantage/disadvantage.
IRNV scope and a few others which turn the image into greyscale or greenscale don’t work properly without color grading and will look real ugly.
There will be no in-game UI for turning it on/off.
We are unlikely to handle support questions and bug reports regarding stuff that happens when color grading is disabled.
As for server settings: we are not currently planning to implement any new ones.

There will be no in-game UI option to turn it on/off and it is unlikely that DICE will provide support for anyone who experience problems such as bugs with the colour grading disabled. Still, it is a step in the right direction and you won’t get banned for using it.
Will you be turning it off or keeping it on? Tell us in our forums.
