Default RGB Codes for 90% Black

To add to what all the others have said:

In the Font Color palette, the rightmost column of color squares is shades
of gray, and these do have ScreenTips: 80%, 50%, 40%, and 25% black. You
could select one of these and see where it falls on the More Colors |
Standard range, which offers 13 gradations between white and black. Choosing
the Custom tab will give the RGB codes for any of these.

For further accuracy, you can use the Borders and Shading dialog. Choose the
Shading tab, and there you will have color squares for shading in 5% (and
sometimes 2.5%) increments. If you select 90% and then go to More Colors |
Custom, you'll see that the code is 25, 25, 25. For 70%, it is 76, 76, 76.
These same formulas will work for font color.
