Hi @Thijs Amersfoord and welcome to the forums,
Could you upload your pdf or even just one page from your exported pdf file so we can take a look as your pdf shouldn't be exhibiting any CMYK colour.
Of course, see attached

I've used Affinity publisher to design a book that I want to send to be professionally printed. The colour space of the document is in grayscale, I made the text 0 gray on the grayscale, exported it to pdf explicitly in grayscale (D50), and still the text in the pdf seems to be build up in CYMK colours. How is this possible? How can I export to a purely black and white pdf, ready to be printed in black and white, instead of in colour?

Grayscale document exported for printing still contains CYMK colours

These are the export setting I use. At first, I just used "as document" for the colour space, but after first complaints from the printing shop, I set it to explicitly export to gray and convert colour spaces of images.
