The grayscale color palette is composed entirely of varying shades of gray. It is defined by the following rules:
The first two colors are named black
and white
.
The remainder of the palette contains colors specified by varying percentages
of gray. Each color is named gray<value>
,
according to its gray value. These colors are defined by the following rules:
The gray value of the first gray color (to the right of white
)
is 100%, and is named gray100
.
As the colors progress from left to right across the palette (and wrapping from the rightmost cell in one row to the leftmost cell in the next), the gray value for each color is .5 less than the one before it.
After gray12.5
, the
gray value for each color is .25 less than the one before it.
The gray values continue to decrease to the last color in the palette,
named gray0
.
