HSL, being The One True Color Model, obviously needs to be added to the CSS spec. --J. P.S. The sole purpose of this message is to determine whether non-subscribed individuals such as myself can clutter up the list with flame-bait. P.P.S. Of course, if I actually cared to contribute to the debate, I would point out that the issue of RGB vs HSL vs YUV vs CMYK is irrelevant, since _ALL_ of those color models are counter-intuitive and generally bogus, from the non-techie-nerd's point of view. Pick one, stick it in the spec (RGB wins by inertia), and develop end-user tools with an interface that makes sense, e.g. an artist's palette or a "Crayon-box" type color-picker a la' MacOS 8. P.P.P.S. Actually, ANY end-user tools at all with really good CSS support would be a tremendous help. James A.
