  Hi, Bob, 

    What about something like

Plot3D[Exp[-x^2 - y^2], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, 
 ColorFunction -> 
  Lighter /@ Lighter /@ (ColorData["GrayTones"][#3] &)]

?

   You should be able to apply "Lighter" to the color function you'd like. 
(It took me a long while to figure this one out, though I had the general gist 
right. Only when I finally browsed to the ref/ColorData page in the help menu 
did I get it.)

            Cheers, 
                   C.O.
