I willingly admit to not being sure of what you want, however I wondered if there was a gray palette. Didn't look like it so I wrote a script to generate a Grey palette.

If you like it and want it, copy it from here to your .scribus/palettes directory, maybe call it 30_Shades_of_Grey

Also in the interests of keeping massive palettes with Scribus, you can get a 60 Shade of Grey palette from http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/scribus/60Shades_of_grey_Palette.xml.zip
