Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Better name for gray()? (#4621)

Of all the suggestions so far, black([percentage]) seems most reasonable and intuitive to me. I don’t consider myself a color geek, but I am a web designer and developer, a former print designer, and someone who paints occasionally.  

In printing with black ink, a 10% screen halftone is a very light gray, and a 90% screen halftone is a very dark gray. I also don’t think it is unusual to think of gray paints as being a percentage of black (with the rest of the mixture being white). See Exercise 2 on this page, for example:
