I checked, the implementation is accurate. To be sure as the result of my color test was ever so slightly different, are we using #202124 at 8%?

I need to look at ways to make the focus state better which will most likely not look like a grey background.

yes we are using GoogleGrey900 which is the hex value you mentioned and 8%. I am going to close this as according to spec then.

Thanks for confirming.
