Darkblue - Shades of Gray

Shades of Gray

The list shown above covers only the colors supported by popular browsers. Some browsers like Netscape navigator insisted on an ‘a’ in any ‘Gray’ except for ‘Light Grey’.

The complete rgb.txt defines 101 shades from ‘Gray 0’ (black) up to ‘Gray 100’ (white) in addition to ‘Gray’ and its variants listed above. The shades are apparently defined by the formula Gray N := round(N% × 255) resulting in e.g. ‘Gray 96’  , which happens to be the same as ‘White Smoke’. Similarly ‘Dim Gray’ is the same as ‘Gray 41’  .

On the other hand ‘Gray’   lies between ‘Gray 74’   and ‘Gray 75’  , ‘Dark Gray’   is not the same as ‘Gray 66’  , and ‘Light Grey’   is not the same as ‘Gray 83’  .
