This is only a single data point, but I asked a designer colleague about this. "Perfect" grays (each RGB channel at the same value) with alpha are used a lot for backgrounds and shadows. A shorthand (however it is named) that allows not to repeat the value would help greatly, especially when tweaking the value. Near-grays are used sometimes to give some "temperature" to the color, but not nearly as often as perfect grays (which are more neutral). -- Simon Sapin
