Not everything you listed is the same.
> Is "pink" a different colour than (light) red?
No, it's a different word for it.
> Where does "white" end and "grey" begin?
When any amount of black is added to white.
> Where does "grey" end and "black" begin?
When the color is 100% black.
White and black are not the same as red, green, or blue. Tinting or shading a color with white or black does not change the color, it lightens or darkens it. That's not the same for RGB. Combining those results in other colors, regardless if a culture has a specific name for it.

But what does this mean? Only vantablack is black, everything else is grey?
The test is done on a computer monitor. Vantablack is irrelevant. 100% black on a monitor means the pixels in the display are turned off.
