Safari 12's pinned tabs now show garish, distracting, and unpredictable colored icons in place of the subdued grayscale icons of previous versions. Is there a way to decolorize these icons?

The new Web Inspector was made to be a bit closer to Xcode.
There is no direct way to get the old one back, without reverting to other means. For example:
- running Lion in a VM (to run an older Safari).
- Running a nightly build of WebKit - but this may only have the new inspector
- Using Chrome (while still WebKit, it still uses something that seemed closer to me like the old inspector).
So no, at this time, it doesn't look like its possible to revert back to an 'older' version of the inspector. The best bet would be to submit bugs at http://bugreporter.apple.com. If it is missing features that the old one had, possibly future revisions would bring some of this back.
As of Safari 9.0 (which is released together with El Capitan) you can now pin tabs. The icon for the pinned tabs has to be set by the developer for the website as an svg and is not the regular favicon; by default it's the first letter of the site.
You enable the pinned tab by right clicking on it and choosing "pin tab" or by dragging the tab to the left of the window.

The app Faviconographer hacked favicons onto Safari tab prior to the feature officially rolling out.

It would likely be fairly straightforward to modify the app to re-grayscale the icons.
Try asking the dev for the feature, or for the source code and build it yourself.
