For gray pixels, the picture color and picture background color are mixed. ●

color, the colors will interact with each other and the box color.

Grayscale and 1-bit images only: When you open a project from a previous
version of QuarkXPress, the box color is mapped to the picture background color
so the picture looks the same.
