Thank you in advance. 
I shoot in DNG with JPG in monochrome (all saved to SD1). The problem I am having is that with this profile the LCD screen, EVF and the reviews are always in B&W and I can’t find a way to change this so that previews, EVF and LCD are in colour. Unless I change the jpg settings to STD. 
when they import to lightroom both colour and B&W are there. But I can’t access from the SL2. What am I dong wrong?!

I think what you are asking your camera to do is: Save my picture onto the card as a full color DNG and a black and white JPG, but show me the JPG on my camera screens in color.
I don't think your camera can do that. The camera screens show the JPG (not the DNG).

Perhaps you should save the pictures onto you card as full color DNG and "standard" JPG (color). This will then show you color pictures (JPG) on your camera screens and when you import the pictures into your computer, you can change either the JPG or DNG images to black and white via you computer.

You are not doing anything wrong.  Most cameras use the jpeg derived image for their EVF and LCD images.  This is far faster than rendering fro RAW.

The previews are rendered as JPEG, not RAW, and you’ve set the JPEG to b/w. Maintaining a b/w workflow and in-camera viewing experience is welcome thing for those who use this dual setting.
