See, you need to understand how the color notation works to infer the meaning. With RGB the value is just repeated. That�s why I said it�s less intuitive, though not necessarily counter-intuitive. > If grayscale value shortcuts don't make sense for new color formats, then those formats need not have such shortcuts. I don't see that as a significant issue. My point was that a gray notation would work differently for RGB and HSL, and yet in another way for HSB (or whatever). All would yield the same result though and thus it�s questionable if it makes sense to add multiple notations for the same thing.
