James Downs, the poster before you in today's list, says it's gray.
He actually examined it under a loupe.  But we don't know how
good his eyes are.

The bottom line is that to get neutral you need matching
amounts of yellow, cyan, and magenta, you can't do it
with just two.

My point, though, is that it's not exactly rocket science to
settle this.  Just make a print with IP, scan it under hi-res
and post it!   I don't have IP so I can't do it, but ONE of you
gearheads ought to be able to do that.
