Re: Different colors in LaTeX and ConTeXt

Dear Aditya and Hans,

I'm not so sure about it being a bug in pgfplots.  I played a little and
encountered the following.

>

> \blackrule[color=gray,width=1cm,height=1pt]

> \starttikzpicture

> \definecolor[gray][s=0.5]
> \unprotect
> \pgfutil@definecolor{tikzgray}{gray}{0.5}
