I’ve come across some tips suggesting to use “50% gray” or something
like that. How do I get a 50% gray? What value do I use in either RGB or
CYMK? TIA.

Geo.

I think what you are referring to is the Edit>Fill command, where you can
select "50% gray" from the Drop-down menu

I think that 50% gray in RGB mode is R=128, G=128, B=128.

You can use the greyscale slider, or RGB set to 128,128,128

Hope this helps

RGB 50% gray is 127, 127, 127.

In CMYK, it depends: Do you want 50% gray int he black channel only, or do you
want a four-coor gray? If you're making drop shadows or something of that
nature, best to use 0, 0, 0, 50 for your C, M, Y, and K values.
