The camera shutter is open and there is no sticker over the lens.
The integrated camera has the infrared feature, which I have discovered is the reason it is in gray scale.
Is there a setting to use it as a color camera?

My integrated camera on my Thinkpad P53 displays in black & white only, no color.
This is the first time I have used the camera. I have the current hardware driver. Windows 10 updates are current.
What am I missing? I have not seen a black & white camera on a laptop for 30 years!
Any suggestions?

I understand that you have issue with your integrated laptop camera in greyscale. Might I suggest that you check this link, it is having a different issue with yours but the procedure to fix is just the same. I suggest you follow the steps listed.

Also if this is the first time that you are using the webcam, can you check maybe there is a sticker/plastic in front of the camera.
Let me know if this works and I'll be happy to help you to fix this.
