In general, this is not possible, since there are _many_ colours having
the _same_ gray value when converting to grayscale. So which one to pick
when trying to convert back?

However, there has been some articles about that problem, which Gabriel
mentioned on the ImageJ Documentation Wiki IIRC, but no work has been done
to make this an ImageJ plugin as far as I know.

Ciao,
