I think that I can use a greyscale palette, or shades of grey/black and white. I know that white is rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff and black rgb:0/0/0, but does anyone know where I'd get info on shades of grey and how to set them?

greys are just rgb all equal, like rgb:8888/8888/8888, but restricting your applications to a certain colormap is an art I wasn't ever that great at either.
I'm not sure that setting it to 4bpp is the best way to go, if higher bpp work, but are just greyscale on your mono monitor. If a particular application has a default that is invisible in mono, it's probably an interface bug and you should report it. Beware packager defaults, though.
