Photo gray settings?

    Not sure where this really belongs, so here it is. Anyone know the actual
    RGB settings for "photo gray"? We are looking at moving to a photo gray
    background in MS so that all our old colors still work, while allowing for
    more of a one to one color relationship between MS & PS. I know photo gray
    is in the 15%-18% screen range, but I think there is a real definition.

    Thanks,
    Gordon

    Depends. My understanding is that middle gray is roughly 13% give or take,
    but a Gray Card (as purchased from Kodak or others for photographic
    purposes) is 18%.

    BTW, that's percent reflective, and not screen.

    Hmm. I wonder how screen & reflectivity relate. Then again, maybe there is a
    color book with photo gray. I will have to go look for that.

    Thanks,
