Here's a script I've been using for a couple of years to
toggle back and forth between gray scale and max color
depth.

---------------------------------------------------
repeat with thecurrent from 1 to number of monitors
if (color of (depth of monitor thecurrent)) then
set depth of monitor thecurrent to 8 bit gray scale
else
set depth of monitor thecurrent to (max monitor depth) bit color
end if
end repeat
---------------------------------------------------
