There may be more going on here than meets the eye, so to speak :-).

Look at the RTF code in:
/usr/lib/NextStep/Resources/English.lproj/HelpTemplate/Index.rtfd/TXT.rtf

Just guessing, but it looks to me like they encode both a color
value (red56,green70,blue144) that the Text object will use to
display certain text on a color device, AND a gray value (gray333)
that it will use to display the same text on a gray-scale device.

However, look at the tiff files in the subdirectory.  These appear
to be used to draw index rule lines of various sizes.  All the ones
I checked used (51,68,153) for the color and showed as pure NX_DKGRAY
in 2-bit mode.  (I think this is the same color on the 0->255 scale
as was posted earlier by Izumi Ohzawa as (0.2,0.26667,0.6) on the
0->1 scale.)
