Much more common is CMYK or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. If you want
to get fancy there are other systems that use six inks Toyo for isntance.
But as Chris Wilson said, the real solution is to use CSS that already
allows for hex, decimal, and percentages. It also has a syntax that can
be extended to support things like Pantone, Toyo, CMYK or whatever 
other color system meets your fancy.
