Who will do this work? Is there a bug or trello card tracking this and a person who wants to own getting this fixed?

You can see how specific grays are being used here.

One thing at a time. We are building software and we can't get everything right first time :)
I agree semantic names are what we should aim to but the purpose of the numeric colours was an attempt to at least stop introducing even more :)
Sounds like we have identified disabledComponentGray to go with disabledTextGray during this process:)

MZ we had that conversation already ;) we opted for semantic names for colors, and numerical names for our limited grey palette. The Living style guide will outline some uses for each grey but they will be divergent enough that a single name is not likely to make sense. If when we are building the color usage section of the living style guide we find enough commonality in usages for the shades of grey we can revisit semantic names.

I definitely think we should dim the text as well I think B works well, we should just make sure we're using existing LESS greys for everything.
I'd also argue that we need fewer grays. Surely fifteen grays is overkill.
I think enumerating the grays was kind of a cop-out. We should be able to clearly define each gray, recognizing of course that naming is very difficult. If a gray and its purpose can't be clearly defined, it probably doesn't need to be part of the palette. For now, we can side-step the fact that most of these colors are indistinguishable on the hardware that many users use (both human eyes and computer monitors). :-)
