Grey, Greyness, Grayscale

[Jeremy Bohn]

Color me confused.

1. When I choose from the Grey swatches, I choose Black 30% and I get a light grey. This is as expected.

2. Then if I use the Colour panel switch it to Greyscale mode, the same percentage works the opposite way. 30% gives me a dark grey. This is not how I would expect it to work.

3. On top of that, if I click on a color swatch to change something like text color or stroke and fill color for a table, the term is changed to say Greyness.

In my opinion, the only thing that's right here is #1. What's wrong about #2 is that the slider says Grey but really it's black, and when you drag the slider to 100% you're not getting 100% black or even 100% grey, you are getting 0%, or rather white.

I'll allow it, but I don't like it...

This is a bug that has been reported previously, I'll bump the development log with your thread now!

Thanks for letting me know, I'm not certain why these have different titles, I've logged this with our developers for a fix
