I'm going to talk about how the community improved themselves by making people unable to see colour.
Taking away colour have a lot of benefits and no drawbacks (as long as the people don't know colour exists). There will be no racists, and less choices - of course, the community doesn't want people to be able to make choices, because everything is so organized. If they could choose then there might be arguments about certain decisions and other 'unpleasant' things, for example if they choose wrong, things might not be as organized-.
I'm not sure how the community can make people unable to see colours, but it might be some form of colour blindness. I've watched a television program about someone that can only see black and white, and it says that this might be caused either by a genetic nature, by damage to the eye, nerve or brain, or by exposure to certain chemicals. In the community that Jonas lives in, they might have interfered the genetic code of people, so everyone that gets born won't be able to identify colours.
I have a lot of opinions about this no-colour-sameness-thing. I don't think it's a good idea if the people know that colours existed, because they'll want to see colours, so there might be protests and the community won't be able to be as organized. But if they really want to make everything so orderly and if people don't know about colours, then it might be a good idea. My own opinion is that I definitely won't sacrafice my life now to go to a black and white community where everything is the same. It might be better (it is better, in a way), but I just don't think people would want to go and live there. (Last night I asked my mother if she'll want to live in a community like that, and she said she really don't want to leave everything in this world behind).
