I am not a lawyer (thank goodness) by any shape of the imagination, but 
regardless of color, shade, tone or otherwise, you are subject trademark 
violations if the character (which is one of the only trademarkable parts 
to the commerical) is used in any shape or form without permission. So, 
you see, making a black and white version isn't going to do any good 
without permission of Eveready, which I understand Dean Yu (the author) is 
attempting to do as we speak. Good luck!
