I creatd a profile using the extended greys, made a test and it seems
to work greatly. Now, can this profile be used both for color and b&w?
or should I use the readings from the colored patched only to build a
new profile for use in color prints?


The neutral B&W augmented profile should actually be BETTER for color printing than the unaugmented version; color images have neutrals in them too... its only if you make special tinted B&W profiles that they may not suit your tastes for color work, as they will tint neutrals in the color images also. Some users like this effect, others do not, that is partly a matter of the tint (and degree of tint) involved, and partly the type of color printing being done.
