RGB or Saturation Block
There needs to be a block to allows the pen to be set to any color possible. Currently, it is not possible to set the pen color to any shade of grey programmatically. Two blocks that could allow this are a RGB block:
set color red (50) green (50) blue (50) // This would set the pen color to grey.and a saturation block:
set pen saturation (0) // This would set the saturation value of the current pen color (sharpness)The RGB could even be split into three blocks:
set red value (50)
set green value (50)
set blue value (50)More realistic blocks (thanks to lazy 777w who didn't even bother to split them apart even thought I didn't even bother to make them and I think this is a run-on sentence):

Re: RGB or Saturation Block
Having been brought up rather frequently, this suggestion has previously been rejected by the Scratch Team for falling under the "confusing to new users" category. While RGB might indeed be a bit hard to understand at first, I honestly don't see how the option of pen saturation would confuse anyone at all. If the term "saturation" is too confusing, perhaps something like "greyness" could be used. If Scratch users can grasp the concept of hue and lightness, why not saturation?
So once again, have my full support for this suggestion, I really dislike how they are artificially limiting the available color spectrum in Scratch right now, and I can't even begin to count the times I have needed this type of block in my projects.

Re: RGB or Saturation Block
Even better, there should be colour blocks like in panther (they are blocks that report colours and can be put onto a color picker)
My latest project is called
