GreyScale
I have updated my GreyScale plugin to include a new mode called "Front Face". Front Face is similar to SketchUp's Monochrom mode, except that textures remain and are color-matched to the Front Face color.
Normal Colors and Textures
Here is a model as normally viewed.
Model in GreyScale Mode
In GreyScale mode, all in-model colors are saved, then their color values modified to a greyscale equivalent. Note the textures are still visible, but their colors have been modified to shades of grey.
Front Face Mode
Now, if we set the Face default color using the Style Dialog...
Now we switch the the plugin's Front Face mode, you can see the colors and textures all take on the same color as the Face default color set in the Style dialog. Again, very similar to SketchUp's Monochrome Face Style, but textures are kept visible.
Revert Selected Colors
When in either GreyScale or Front Face mode, you can right-click on a painted or textured object and Revert the material to it's original value for highlighting.
Notes
A model can be saved in either GreyScale or FrontFace mode with no problems. When re-opened, the model will be in the same mode it was saved in, so check the Mode in the menu to reset the original color values.
For FrontFace mode, once the mode is selected and the in-model colors modified, you can continue to change the Front face color without changing the in-model colors again. This way if you have elements that are untextured and uncolored, their color can be changed using the Font face default color.
I can see the use in this, but I lack the talent to demonstrate it. So here is a link to a sketchucation forum thread showing how some very talented people are using it.

Finally, with this update I have signed up with the great people at smustard.com to offer this updated version for sale at a very reasonable price.
Thank you for understanding that it takes time and effort to create these plugins.
