Yes.

WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet, etc, etc, etc) to switch to grayscale mode.
The function is in the 3.5 API and higher, but is binary-compatible with older
versions of the function present in OS 3.0. Then there's different ways to
set the foreground and background color for drawing (24 bit color components
in OS 3.0, color index in OS 3.5 and higher) - and any bitmaps you draw will
draw in grays if the bitmap is grayscale or has a grayscale bitmap family
member.

anyone know which models can support grayscale and to what depth?
i think it depends on the processor in the palm.
