Summary
setColorDepth maps to the controller opcode SWITCH_GRAYSCALE (0x06), which is dropped on G6 (the G6 firmware rejects it). On G6, grayscale (GS2/GS16) is a property of the .pat / SD-card header, not a runtime controller command. We just hard-dropped it from the web tools (see below) and should do the same in maDisplayTools so a G6 protocol carrying setColorDepth errors rather than silently emitting a dropped opcode.
Firmware basis
LED-Display_G6_Firmware_Arena/src/CommandProcessor.cpp returns an error for SWITCH_GRAYSCALE ("dropped for G6"); the opcode is absent from the G6 command surface.

Suggested handling
Treat setColorDepth as an unsupported/error-generating command for G6 protocols (the SD/.pat header carries grayscale). If G4.1 still accepts 0x06, gate by generation rather than removing the method outright — maintainer's call.
