Orc Skirmishes are a thing, and so killing Orcs should not incur any more than the present penalty.

Other than that, the grey effect could be temporary, lasting for X minutes and taking away ALL alignment-related bonuses. No crafting after killing an Elf, no trading, no anything. Also, maybe Elven warriors could do something to you while your alignment is grey? Perhaps using a bandit mechanic and stealing X number of silver coins?
