Create 2 viewports, one with the original layer colors, the other viewport use the layer-manager to overwrite/VPColor and set they to grey.

What I do is to use colors 1 through 6 for black linework at different lineweights, but all assigned to plot black in the pen assignments.  If I want something in color, all the other colors are available for that, but anything in those first 6 colors plus the various grays [8, 9, 250's series] plots monochromatically.

Hi,

just a sample for how that works with 2 viewports, done in a minute or maybe 2 😉
