Grey colour is usually applied to maps a dot tone of black.
Two tones are defined in the default OCAD colour table:
- Black 50% colour number 19 not used by the default symbols
- Black 30% colour number 1 used by symbol bare rock 212
Grey colour can be printed directly to give a smoother colour. This is sometimes done on continental maps with a lot of bare rock.
To do this the symbols that use this colour will have to be redefined.
Symbols that display in grey on the screen are usually undefined symbols; these are not the same as grey coloured
symbols. Undefined symbols will not print.
