  Hi Tim,

  Best thing would be to haul out a darkroom selenium toned print and
  then, using a color balance curve adjustment (on its own layer) fiddle
  with the blue, magenta, and red sliders until you get a tone that
  matches it. If your printer, inks and paper are profiled, you should get
  a nearly dead on neutral print with the sliders set to 0. By tweaking
  the above colors, you should be able to match that selenium color
  exactly. It won't take much of a tweak, probably no more than 4 or 5
  points of any color, and maybe only 2 or 3.

  You could also try the number 4 purple duotone in the adobe canned
  duotones. This is supposedly the selenium duotone, but how it works will
  depend on your printer, inks, and paper profile.

  In my case, with an 1160 and MIS inks, Photo Matte paper, I use 3
  magenta and 1 blue, and it comes quite close to selenium. Of course
  there are many shades of selenium, depending on how strong your toner
  was and how long you left the print in the toner!  And then there's metamerism......
