No matter what I change my settings to, all images I open in photoshop come in as grayscale.  Any suggestions?

    I finally fixed mine.  I went to the Edit menu: Edit>Preferences>General>Reset Preferences on Quit button (and then close program and restart)

    The Reset Preferences on Quit button is toward the bottom-middle-right of the General panel.

    Change mode to RGB/CMYK, it should work - I just had the same problem, this solved it

    Properties tab on the right  -> Mode -> change mode to desired setting (typically RGB or CMYK for colour)

    SOLUTION! I tried everything from here and wouldnt work. This worked: Image (top bar) > mode > RGB colour 🙂

      I had this problem too, and what I had done wrong was when I opened a new file, the "Color Mode" was set to "Grayscale." Hope that helps someone!
