Hi
>>why do so many GUIs use grey (GR_RGB(200,200,200)) as the default color,
>>be it a windows based one or linux based application?
One reason is that to create the illusion of 3D you need shades a little
lighter and a little darker than your main colour - so you need to start
with something other than white or black.
It's easier to use grey because a specific colour might put people off -
although blues are a safe choice.
