Don’t: Convert your image to black & white or duotone. Buyers want the maximum flexibility provided by the full color image.

Nice black and white, but stock does not like black and white because the customer can easily convert from colour to black and white, but getting the colours back is impossible.

I wouldn't necessarily say Adobe Stock forbids B&W. But they don't encourage it.

Customers can easily convert to grayscale (B&W) after purchase if needed. However, it's not so easy to convert B&W to color. You'll reach a much wider base of potential buyers with full color than you will with B&W.
