Google spreadsheets: Charts for black and white printing?

Question

I have a couple of column charts in google spreadsheets that have several columns of data. I would like to print them out in just black and white, since they are part of a larger report that doesn't need color at all. But when I choose the style for the columns, i can only specify different colors, which are tough to tell apart when printed in black and white.

Is there any way of specifying a pattern or something for the different columns, such that they will be easy to tell apart?

Answer 1

Currently there are 8 grayscale options for column colors, ranging from black to white. I suppose the distinguishability of those grays will depend upon print quality. I don't see any way to specify patterns that would be more clearly visible in black and white.
