Haha! I have not even noticed the colors. Additionally, I have my media turned off now since I have a metered wifi plan. This just happened recently.

I have one window open where I can see pics if I need to but I'm mostly in text now. I noticed right away that I could work much faster and no be so distracted. So now I am not seeing emojis at all! I did not even think about this.

My one and only emoji is :) and I use it a lot. I sometimes get a colorful face out of it, but not often. I am pretty sure my son can talk in them. He is 25. I'm sure 10 year olds are fluent now.
