Upthread to see original post:

Scott,  I'm not sure how the mechanics of gray densities and 
how "smooth" they appear and is really beyond the scope of my 
original post as it relates to differences in warm and 
neutral "tones" rather than "shades" of gray.  The shades of gray 
question would probably be a question for Paul Roark.

Cheers,
Randy
