Kat, Have you ever tried the C-41 process "black & white" films? Kodak makes one, as well as Fuji. It's been a couple years since I used it, but it was wonderful for "proofs" of a bi-racial couple's wedding. He was almost ebony and she was Scandinavian--a combination even PhotoShop has a hard time handling. I'll send you copies tomorrow to your private address. If you have a good color technician, they can set up the computer on the color head to give you anything from straight grey-scale to a wonderfully warm sepia. Give me a night to find the files on the backup tape and I'll send them tomorrow.
