Percent of what? A proposal

These were the original proportions of GEOMETRIC values that were proposed.
You then introduced the idea of taking a propotion of a CODED COLOR VALUE,
e.g. "50% of #ffffff".

The exact quote from me in <44680e2d$1 (AT) quokka (DOT) wn.com.au>:

"% of the 8 bits in the red, green and blue channel"

note "%" and "8 bits"

50% of #ffffff is an idea that you first mentioned in
<e4952u0ift (AT) news2 (DOT) newsguy.com>

I never said that % equals a percentage of a colour. This too is an
idea that you came up with.

What do you think "8 bits in the red, green and blue channel" is? Linear?

Stay away from any kind of color/intensity calculations. You can't handle
them.
