Also
 how much would this flash back and forth, hopefully not as much as in the 7
 level grayscale.

5 level would be kinda dumb.  it's just a waste of a bit.  with 4 level, you
have 2 bits coding for 4 different shades.  if you up that to just 3 bits (one
bit more), you get 7 levels.  finding an intermediate would either mean
sharing bits or wasting bits.  sorry if it's a "bit" confusing.  hahaha.  i
kill myself.
