Perhaps a print stylesheet?

 I did a quick search on google, doesn't seem to be way to tell CFDocument to 
 create the PDF in grayscale.

 Anyone know of a way to do this without creating another web page without 
 colors?

In a word, no, unless you wanted to convert the PDF to an image, greyscale it, 
and then convert it back to a PDF - losing all of your text selection in the 
process.

My suggestion would also be the stylesheet solution.  If you use SASS 
(http://sass-lang.com/ ) you can declare your color variables in the master 
template and then just let sass automatically generate two different 
stylesheets with different colors:

—color stylesheet 
$table_border: navy;
@import ‘includes/base_styles.scss’;

—greyscale stylesheet 
$table_border: #99;
@import ‘includes/base_styles.scss’;

Yes, we also have a few sites with print to PDF, and similarly the client 
wanted them to print differently.  A print style was the solution.
