Grayscale black in RGB mode, should be the same as RGB 0,0,0, shouldn't it?
In the current Ai (20.2.1), when in RGB mode, in a grayscale gradient, a value of 0 creates a gray which is far off RGB 0,0,0. Why?
In the screenshot, a RGB 0,0,0 rectangle is placed over a gradient with 100% K in the middle knot.
In RGB mode, grayscale values should resemble values from 0,0,0 to 255,255,255, and match those values in non-gradient fills.
This happens in both Classic Gradients and Perceptual Gradients.

It’s odd indeed.
Grayscale in CMYK documents behaves as K channel (and it says 'K' in the Color panel).
So K = 100 equals CMYK 0,0,0,100
Make sense.But in an RGB doc... here, in the attached document I have two gradients in the leftmost column.
Both say that ARE in grayscale when I look in Color mode.
Both are Classic.
All 4 gradient stops say K0 or K100.
But if I select these both — the fill differ, and the looks obviously differ.One is rectangle copied from a CMYK doc, another is naturally born RGB one.
A mess.
