Using the color filters to emulate a glass filter is easy to
accomplish in Lightroom, as well as most any image editor. However,
that doesn't take into account how the sensors see the natural world
differently than a B&W film. What you might find more pleasing is if
you change the White balance of the image to a slight cooler (more
blue-green color cast) before doing your monochrome conversion.
