The Commodore monitors usually have a switch that toggles Composite
vs. Separate Luma/Chroma. Attach Composite to the yellow jack and play
with the switches.

Better try to find a Commodore 1084 or 1084S(tereo), which has RGB
analog as well as RGBI digital inputs, plus of course the Separate and
Composite Video inputs. That is one versatile beast. Though the last
ones made shortly before the death of Amiga lack some of the inputs, I
forget which. However those not very numerous, most have it all.
