Stuck with finding correct greyscale shade

Hi, I'm preparing a file for riso printing. To be able to print my artwork, I have to draw things in greyscale for each layer of colour I want to print.  There is 100% - 10% intensity to determine the strength, and  I am stuck.

 

My question is - how do I get a specific amount of greyscale? like for instance if pure black was 100%, how do I get that specific shade?

    Figured this out - in the colour picker, where HSB is the B is where you can put the percentage of greyscale you want. 100 is white, 0 is black. 🙂

    When working in Grayscale or CMYK mode, just use the colour picker to "dial in" the required value.

     

     

    If working in RGB, then it will be using 0-255, so it's hard to work in exact % (2.55 levels per %).
