Just do it in POST. Why confuse matters?

I know this isn't the lighting forum, but following the thread; if you know you are going to be in B&W for the end product, should you light it differently?

Re: Shooting B&W
Remember that with black and white, every value is based on luma levels, not chroma levels. So, an orange shirt with blue jeans can appear gray on gray - if you want a difference in the apparent colour, have the brightness be different, not the colour.
If you have a black-and-white monitor, though, you can see what it will look like on the spot - and this would let you be 100% sure that you'll be satisfied.

You can also switch the viewfinder (not LCD, though) to B&W in the menus.
