Shipping labels, concert tickets, sometimes train tickets and airline tickets (some companies don’t accept them just on the phone), contracts, NDAs, tax returns, etc.
Depends on where you live and how much you interact with other companies and government agencies.
Well OK yeah, for those you just need B&W. Color becomes useful when trying to impress. I’ve sent rent applications in color specifically because I know that the real estate agents are subjective. Some of the talks that I’ve held were helped out by coloring my notes while I was presenting. And some home crafts and activities (escape rooms with friends) were helped out several times by the color printer. Given that there isn’t a huge price gap in maintenance and initial costs, for me it was worth it.
Also, neither the OP nor the comment I was replying to mentioned anything about color. I was specifying stuff about printers in general.
Lol, the comment thread you replied to is literally talking about color printers. The person you replied to said “How often does the average person really need that” with the ‘that’ being in reference to printing in color. Then you listed a bunch of stuff that doesn’t need color
The comment I replied to did being up the topic of colour though, just read the thread.
My response to that is that the average person doesn’t need colour printing, and honestly doesn’t even need to print at all with rare exception.
Based on your replies you are not the average person in terms of printer usage. So that’s why you had the responses that you’ve had. You’re just seeming to look for an excuse to argue?
Yes, you were. The comment you responded to was asking whether coloured printing is all that necessary in response to someone saying that while b&w laser printers may be cheap, colour ones aren’t.

Every single thing you’ve listed would be absolutely fine in B&W

I’ve printed most items on that list in black and white. Why would you need color for any of those things?
I wasn’t replying to anything that mentioned color.
Yes, you were. The comment you responded to was asking whether coloured printing is all that necessary in response to someone saying that while b&w laser printers may be cheap, colour ones aren’t.
A simple B&W laser printer would work great for all those things
Yes. The word “color” is mentioned exactly 0 times in the ancestor nodes above my comment.
Yeah, cos it was spelt correctly, “colour”, right there in the comment
