B&W with K50

Hi.  Set the camera to B&W for the first time and was surprised that the DNG file was also in B&W.  Is this normal - and / or can it be adjusted so that the Jpeg is B&W and the RAW colour?  The camera did a nice job I have to admit, and I worked from the RAW file as (I think) it gives more leeway in the shadows, but I usually do my own conversion from raw which means I can do adjustments etc.

Kind of unexpected as I'd read elsewhere about people setting cameras to B&W so that they could use colour on focus-peaking to make it stand out better (not on a Pentax, I think it may have been a Fuji) and then work on the RAW in colour.
