I think you ought to seriously think about whether you want to do this. 
If your end product will be online it's not such an issue, but if 
printed commercially, you've turned a text into a color ink process, 
with its added expense and hassles. Or, if someone prints the PDF on 
their own using a grayscale printer, what happens to legibility?
