Ah great idea, I didn't think of that!
If I understand it right you intend it to work like this:
.gray { color: #acacac; } --> .gray { color: #ac }
(Just store one of the 3 equal rgb-channnel bytes; at rendering put this one value back in any of the r-, g- and b-channels.)
This addition would round the idea off nicely to render either 16-shade or 256-shade gray color.
