Sorry if this is really obvious and I am missing something, but that makes only little sense to me.

I am currently seeing this behavior in Safari:
[opaque black (0,0,0,1)] => [semitransparent dark red (128,0,0,0.5)] => [transparent red (255,0,0,0)] (all components interpolated linearly)

However, I think it should look like this: (and it does in Firefox)
[opaque black (0,0,0,1)] => [semitransparent black (0,0,0,0.5)] => [transparent black (0,0,0,0)] (color components weighted with alpha)

Your description ("so any time you interpolate from it you end up with grayish intermediate values") sounds like the latter is what you call interpolation in premultiplied RGBA, however you are also stating that what I am currently seeing is interpolation in premultiplied RGBA...

Could you please clear this up? Which of the two examples is interpolated in premultiplied RGBA? And how is the other method called?
