I haven’t done a lot of B&W but I’m helping a friend process some wedding photos and she wants some in B&W. I recently profiled and calibrated my laptop using Argyll and am using that profile as my display profile. When I use display profile in darkroom (softproof) and apply the monochrome module my histogram still shows colors:
But when I switch the display profile to sRGB(web safe) my histogram switches to grey scale:
The same happens no matter what method I use to convert to monochrome. Only using channel mixer does my histogram show no color. This has me confused.
