I remember using some photo editing software (Aperture I think) that would allow you to customize the different coefficients and there were even presets that give different names to different coefficients. Ultimately you can pick any coefficients you want, and only your eyes can judge how nice they are.

I went to a photoshop conference. There was a session on converting color to black and white. Basically at the end the presenter said you try a bunch of ways and pick the one that looks best.
(people there were really looking for the “one true way”)
I shot a lot of black and white film in college for our paper. One of my obsolete skills was thinking how an image would look in black and white while shooting, though I never understood the people who could look at a scene and decide to use a red filter..
