Where can I find information about colors in the grey scale?

I am looking to find what grey colors correspond with red (FF0000), green (00FF00) and blue (0000FF) when these colors are put on the grey scale. Where can I find this type of information? Thanks!Where can I find information about colors in the grey scale?Well actually, grey scale doesn't work with colors, or at least not in the way you think of color. Red, green and blue are all HUES of colors. What we call each color is actually just different hues, which is one of the main components of color. The other components are VALUE and SATURATION. The higher the value, the more grey is added to the color. The lower the value, the more white is added to the color. The higher the saturation, the brighter the color, and lower saturation makes the color calmer (like pastels). What you do in greyscale is that you actually play with the tones to have a higher level of detail.

Hope this helps! :D

EDIT: See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Fla鈥?/a> This are different types of colorblindness, I'd assume you're talking about total color blindness, which would correspond to flag V. As you can see, the colors aren't really grey, but more of a sepia tonality. The accuracy of this picture, I do not know. You can choose to trust or not its veracity, but that goes beyond me. Here you can see how reds and blues would look in color blind "mode" if you will.
