You don't. When you convert a color image to grayscale, you are discarding the color information. It's gone.
If you want to keep the color image, simply keep the color image and make a grayscale copy.
rgbpict = imread('peppers.png');
graypict = rgb2gray(rgbpict); % BT601 luma
If instead you intend to do some operations on the color image by using the grayscale image as a proxy, I'd have to know what kind of operation you're trying to do. If that's your intent, you'll have to describe the task.
